    Well i have been using al 104's but they dont seem to last long soo i think im going to switch to different plugs this time. Oh when i do that i'm gonna get the 10.3mm zzp wires too. But for plugs i was thinking maybe the autolite xp iridum but i guess you can't gap them because they break easily. So maybe i should get the ngk tr6 soo whats your input ???

    I think I remember reading that Champion's lasted longer than Autolites and NGK's in our cars.

    The 104s are probably too cold for your mods right now anyway. Try the 605s and see how they do. Plugs are cheap, keep switching them till your happy and it's running well.

    104's are actually a pretty good plug for those many mods IMO. I am cammed and run the 103's...they last like 10K miles tops though...I'd say try the NGK TR55's and NGK TR6's...and go from there...I guess you can try the Autolite 605's...couldn't really hurt anything

    i would never run anything champion makes in any thing. Autolites are the way to go. 104 are the proper heat range IMO. I have run tr6 and they are about the same.

    A good sign of running too cold of a plug is short lifespan, thats why I suggested to give it a try.

    Well i'm getting random cylinder missfire and now when i start it up it idles fine but i give it some gas it boggs down theres no power, soo im going to try the ngk tr6 cause the ngk last longer then the autolites. Now about my mods i think i have enough to run 104's running stock plugs with my setup doesnt seem right.

    605s are 1 step colder. 104s are 2 steps as are the TR6s.

    What wires do you have? How old are they?

    Get new/newer wires. I've seen them cause random misfires many times. Used from Morad is plenty good.

    I was thinking about getting the 10.3mm wires from zzp, I like the red ones that will look nice under my hood.

    That's an option too, I would just deffinitly change the wires before you go looking deeper.

    PRJ wires are nice too, they're well worth the money imo.

    I think the zzp wires will do just fine. I know its a waste of money but i'm going to buy the stock coil packs from zzp that cant hurt.
