Is that plug dead and gone? In other words, should I suspect plugs as the cause of my problem?
Next question, money no object (plugs aren't all that much) what is the best choice for my application? Mid-high compression somewhere in the 11.x:1, all motor.

I have NGK TR6's on the Cobra. They've been great so far.

Yes, that orange color is exactly what I've heard others have experienced with octane booster. I don't know what plugs are best for your application.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

For the Chevelle I'm using the ones for a 1967 427 Covette because it came factory with 12.5:1 compression and they were the only ones I found that didn't protrude too far into the chamber to the point that it hit the piston. On the Cobra I'm running 1 step colder plugs than what came on it stock. I also modify the ground strap by rounding the sharp edges just to be on the safe side. The Cobra is right on the edge of pinging so I don't leave anything to chance. |

Do you mean like a gentle de-burring of the strap or an actual rounding of the edges? Also, exactly what problem does that solve?
