I think he's infering that you don't need 9's yet. Plugs aren't like turbos - they're cheap enough to run exactly what you need, not what ones that support your eventual goal. They aren't what make power, they just don't make less HP when you use the right plug.

I used NGK 8 with my old 400whp setup and worked perfect. check your tuning because if there is alot of fuel at start up your plugs will get washed and there`s your problem...

haha my thoughts exactly. Switch to a heat range 7, you would be surprised how far they will get you.
