I like ACCEL 276 or 274 in my blown BigBlock. They also make shorter plugs for added header clearance.

I like the Bosch +4, in a test of several spark plugs done by TPIS (Tuned Port Induction Specialties), the +4 out performed the Splitfire by 6.4 hp and 6.2 ft-lbs of torque. The standard bosch platinum plug performed as well as the splitfire and resisted detenation better.

Based on this, I looked into a set of the Rapidfires. Anybody know what makes them so good and so much more expensive than the generic champion for instance?
