Hey guys,

For a modified engine that's also supercharged, the NGK 6 heat range is the absolute hottest I'd go on a spark plug. For an engine like that, my "rule" would be to run the coldest plug I can without having problems with fouling.

For street high-performance use, I prefer the Denso Iridium Power plugs. Admittedly, they are pricey, but they work very well, I've used them for years in both my LS6 and my LS7.

For my LS7, I'm currently running the IT-24. I used to run the IT-22, but after sending a set I ran to the engineers at Denso for them to inspect, they suggested I go even colder and use the IT-24. I gap them at .035-.040.

If you want to stick with NGK, look at either the 7 or the 8 heat range.

tr7ix is what I would run with that setup. Densos are good too.
