| I was curious if the NGK B5HS plugs are good for street performance applications. |

NGK makes a great plug. If it's a true performance car you'll probably do better with a "6" instead of a 5.

| What should the gap be for that plug. Is .32 to much? |

NGK BP6HS, you can go to 7 if it's still too hot. IMO 5 in an NGK is too hot for anything.

I'm sure it's been covered, but searching for it yields fifteen pages of opinion with 2 pages of solid information..
What's the general consensus on what plug to run for the following engine?
1776cc
Dual Weber 40IDFs
Engle W110 cam
MSD 6AL box
MSD Blaster 2 coil
MSD Billet Distributor
Brother's 40x35.5 heads
Holley Red fuel pump
Petrol King Regulator
10:1 CR
I think that's all the pertinent information, lemme know if I left something out..

No one?
I checked and I currently have NGK DPR6EA's in it.. that sound right or should I replace them with something else? It runs fine, but I want to use whatever is best for my application, not just "what works"
This is what my #2 plug looked like last week.. IIRC it has maybe a few hundred miles on it..
