I have a set of V powers on the bench ready to go in the car once we start tuning it !
I have mostly lived by the phrase "You pay for what you get". I have ran NGK in all my vehicles, scooter, 4 wheeler, and no problems.

How does the NGK heat range go?
I see some near the top (Regular and v groove plugs) of a HR of 8, the center ones are 6 and the lower ones are 5. There is no chart, and I haven't gone to NGK to find out, I will if no one has the answer.

The lower the number the hotter it gets, I couldn't remember either...

I've been running Accel plugs for years. Their 'header' (shorty) plugs give some nice clearance on the back side of my 1 3/4" primaries. I did have to experiment with a few different heat ranges until I found the perfect one. Too cold and they foul very easily around town. Too hot and you can feel the lack of power. I usually change mine to the cold ones at the track though. I can change all 8 in about 6-7 minutes. Swap em back before I leave.

The NGKs are GTG and look great, scored four sets of XR5. If anyone needs Autolites they are going on the swapmeet for $1. each. four sets of 85s and four sets of 86s.

I think the AC Delcos are made in Mexico as a lot of AC Delco stuff is now days.
And I would never run an Autolite or a Champion in a GM. Autolites are for Fords nad Champion for Chrysler. Would be AC Delco, NGK, or Bosch in Gm. Just seems to work better that way from my experience. |

I think acdelco plugs are now made by ngk. Either way you cant go wrong they are both very good plugs.
