NGK TR7 & TR8's (Projected or NON Projected)?

I just got my TR7 (3526 BP7EFS) plugs and TR8 (7317 R5724-8) plugs and they are projected tips just like my tr6. I heard someone say they are non projected. Explain? Are these fine for big shots? 175+

I called ngk and he recommended a non resistor B8EFS-1049 plug. This is a non projected tip plug. He hasnt heard of much probelms with this non resisitor plug from our type of cars. What do you guys do for 200-250 shot?
I am leary of using a projected tip tr8.

I have melted TR8's that were projected tip on a big shot. Some guys on here say that they don't have any trouble with them on big shots but I had nothing but trouble. I changed to a non projected tip plug and haven't had any trouble since.

I can tell you that the tip is shorter on the BP7EFS plugs. When I placed them in my car I noticed they were about an 1/8 of an inch short compared to a TR6.

One thing I notice about that plug (at least according to ngk.com) is that it has a gasket seat. A LSx plug should be a tapered seat.

B - 14mm thread diameter

7- Heat Range
EF - Tapered Seat .708" reach
S - Standard 2.5mm D Electrode

The P makes it a projected tip. Try BR7EF.

Autolite calls it the "Power Tip", which is indeed a projected tip.

Makes choosing plugs fun doesn't it? You gotta decipher code and solve a riddle first.
