Default Best replacement spark plugs for C4?

I have a feeling that the previous owner had some cheapie ones put in 25,000 miles ago and that's the cause of some recent intermittent starting problems (see other thread).
So what plugs are good for performance and longevity in an LT1?

There are about a million other threads on this topic, but I would suggest the NGK TR55's.

Champion Gold PN 2018 (double check it) work well. They last about 20K miles. Lingnenfelter used to recommend them for LT1s.

Many are also recommending new Gm Rapidfire for LT1's. At least they don't have GM's stupid platinum pucks that often delaminate and could wedge between your ring land and cylinder wall.

I've had good luck with the Auto-Lite Platinum Series. Nearly 15,000 miles on the set and still firing strong! :smash:
