Unless you plan on running a healthy dose of nitrous, I wouldn't say the AR's are any better... I run NGK plugs currently (R5671A-9 @ .035) w/ a 200 shot and they work great. Plus, I get better tech support from them and the local speed shop has more available NGK p/n's in stock, ready to go... compared to the chain outlets (auto zone, advance, etc.) who have to order the AR's and take 3 days or longer to get them. Both good reasons for me to run NGK over Autolite. I do like the AR plugs however... I just hate to wait that long for a set of plugs.

I'd call MSD on your plug gap question to be sure... you should be able to open it up to .50-.55 on a NA combo w/ hotter ignition.

OUTPLAYN ...no street racing for me this year. Makes me think of the group of guys at the PRO event at Cordova betting on every pair of cars that went down the track, LOL! If someone has beef w/ another, they should take it to the track in a controlled environment, IMHO. Not that I've ever street raced or anything ...picturing my car at an impound or an auction is enough to keep me away from the local $treet $cene.

Take care guys...
