Default What spark plug for LS-3 427

Below is the engine I have in my custom 71 Pro Touring Vette. I have 600 miles on the engine/car to include break in so it is time to change plugs. It comes with Champion 9405 and I have seen the AC plugs 41-104 and 41-110 being discussed on the forum. Your thoughts? Thanks

That’s a pretty damn cool custom rig. Should be lots of fun! I doubt that you’ll find a better running, longer lasting plug than the 41-104 AC Delco. I’ve run them with up to 12 psi of boost in my Vette and on 150hp shot of nitrous in my L92 truck, with no KR or other issues whatsover.

Why would you need to change plugs so soon? They can go 100k on an EFI engine these days.

Agree with both previous posts... no reason to change plugs at this point, but the AC Delco plugs are what I would run

I have Champion plugs in now and they have spent a lot of time at idle as the car was being built and I would like to change them out now with a better plug. Thanks for your input and here is the car. Kevin
