I can tell you what not to use, split fires. I tried em for a while and was never happy with them. I've never really noticed a difference with plugs until I used those. Not cheap either. I dunno, maybe I just had a bad set?

Just use Autolite 4164's. They are cheaper than the HD's.

I'd go one step colder with the Autolites. 4163 @ about $1.49 ea.
Especially if you've bumped the compression.

You can't beat the the Autilight 4164's like Dawg said, I've used Autolights in everything I've owned for the last 30 years they last longer than any other brand and you can save a buttload of money over those designer/gimmick plugs.

The HD ones I get are $3.29 each. Even if you can get a cheaper plug, how much are you saving? Just put what HD recommends! My plugs work fine for the 10,000 miles they are in there.
