Default what spark plugs?

Anyone tell me what is a good spark plug to use on a street driven sbc edelbrock perf. rpm heads 10 to 10.5 comp. Ive been using accel 576s, I'm just wondering if there is a better choice? Let me know if you need more info.

I've used Accels, Champions, NGKs, and AC Delcos and have good luck with all of them. I'm running Champion racing plugs now. As long as it's the right heat range and it ignites the fuel in the cylinder, it's a good plug. JMO.

Might be a stupid question but what heat range should I be running? I'm running 93 octane? 26 degrees of timing.

if using AC Delco I always ran R45 or R46....NGK I use 8'sor 7's.

I'd use whatever one allowed it to idle the cleanest since it's a street car.

I am using R45TS in a stock-type 350 with mild cam. Seem to run good and they are pretty cheap. Mep

call head manufacturer and ask,id think if using 26 degrees you must have 15:1 compression,if running pump gas probably all in set at 36 and be safe
