getting new spark plugs hopefully...heat ranges?!?

We use only Autolite platinum plugs in every vehicle at my shop. Been using them for 30 yrs without a failure.

I have seen lots of failed plugs from Champion, Bosch, and those 'trick' ones.

Most of the techs that I respect (because they are very smart, and many have race cars), won't touch the two brands I mentioned.

Denso may be a good choice. I used them in my race motoX bikes. NGK is also a good choice.

Read those articles, as they discuss going colder plugs per a certain amount of HP increase.

i havent heard of those brands, so i probably wouldnt have bought them...but thank you for the heads up.

read the articles, very informative, ill read em over again tomorrow to make sure i remember all the info. i think its for every 75-100 HP you gain, you go down one cold level on your plugs. which i wont have to worry about for a while haha.

NGK iridiums are my first choice, they seem to be really popular and have great results, but ill keep my eyes peeled for any autolite platinums too.
