Hi all,
I am going to replace my stock spark plugs as they seem to be misfiring once in a while. I have heard this can be a problem with the Hot Rod cams. I am not quite sure if I should go with a colder plug or not or should I stay with the normal heat range? Any help would be greatly appreciated. All mods in sig. Thanks!!

Without FI or high compression you don't really need a colder plug in my opinion. I have the HR cams and the tech told me the normal heat range is fine.

But if somebody else has other information to the contrary I'd like to hear that too.

+1 no FI = stock heat range.

Hopefully you can get some one piece replacement in the stock heat range.

Have you tried the Brisk plugs, yet?
