Copper plugs!
Platinums have a tendency to glow and break under boost. Last thing you need is a piece of the electrode falling into the combustion chamber.
I use NGK TR55's gapped to .045

I second the motion. Believe me, Mark knows what he is talking about as he was one of the few that had the answer to my spark problem with my SC'd SVT.

Autolites are the cheaper way to go and work just as good as the NGK, but what I did find out is they tend to not last as long as the NGK-TR55. Both a good plug.

Not sure what you folks pay for your NGK TR55's but I paid $4.00CDN each, or about $2.50US each. Having no other pricing to follow by, is this high or low compared to current US pricing?

Can you get NGK's anywhere other than the internet? Only place I have seen them is on the internet and from mailorder places.

I bought mine at Oreilley's Auto Part store here in my hometown. I am sorry I can't recall how much I paid for them a piece.
