Default spark plug recommendation

I have SBE, TV2 cam, 241 heads home ported with no milling, so stock compression. Right now I have 2 x .053 or approximately 200 shot on 93 pump fuel with 18 degrees total timing. Best is 6.55 @105 and 10.28 @129. Can't even see a timing mark, just burns the coating on the NGK plugs.

I have been running B8efs but wondering if Br7efs would be okay.

Opinions?

I'm thinking the 7's might be better here

For 200 you're right there on the border of the 7 and 8 range plugs. It sounds like the 8's may be too cold from the way you're describing, so move to a 7 and see if you have an improvement.

Give the BR7's a shot and make sure you gap them correctly

Have you given it any timing to see if it picks up?

I have not. It is at 18 degrees total timing. I'm pulling timing through the IAT. This is where I had the tuner set it. It's beginning to get really hard not to go from the dual 53 jets to dual 57 jets. Then I feel the 8s would be fine.
