The best plugs? Don't get everyone started....many guys use TR55s or TR6s for cammed motors. I wouldn't use 7s unless you have >12:1 comp, are spraying a butt-load or have >10 lbs of boost. (higer #s = colder plugs)

Iridiums DO have some of the lowest misfire rates of any plug, but at $10 a pop not many people run them in cammed motors because of fouling issues (they use .060 gap). I ran Denso's when I first put my cam in.....they lasted 5 minutes. I'm NOT saying they are bad plugs, they are one of the best, but don't put them in until you get the tune worked out, unless you're rich. NGK TR55s cost $2 each & will work fine to get it tuned. (gap em to .035)

And I use the Autolite racing plug (solid copper) equivilant of a TR7-8 in my engine now to control detonation. AR94s I believe.....

I pulled Densos out of my WS6, I used to run 99 cent a plug autolites in my GTP man they were great!
I just changed mine last weekend in the WS6. (Ellis redid my tune, thanks!) NGK-TR 6s for my made tyte Naaawwws dawg...ah sorry. Just bored.
I have had good luck with the NGKs, if I can't find those I usually just get the AC/Delco stuff. I have those in the Caddy and the Truck.
