i ran 11.6:1 with 32 degrees of total timing with a iron headed 406 in wyoming at 4400 feet with 91. main key is to get a nice cold plug, and also make sure all the sharp spots are cleaned up. that is a thick cam so you will need to look at the comprimises as far as more compression or more timing. 11.5:1 should be safe abd give you enuf timing to do some good.

ngk has always had a good plug, it will depend on what head you get for the type of plug. br8es are good and same with the tr8s. 160 thermo will work, but honestly i never put one in my car. never had a problem.
