Default pros/cons of running R5671A-9 plugs??

just wondering if there are any pros and cons to running these plugs on a daily driven teg boostin 15~18psi (roughly 400~450whp) daily. i got 16 of these for $1.30 each hope'n that they'll help rid me of any bugs when i get my motor back together. any input is greatly appreciated.

yes i did search but only came up with about 4 threads any of which didn't answer my questions.

Those are the only plugs that I run on mine as well as a lot of other peoples. These motors can go as high as 32 psi. Just the gap you will want to play with.

isn't fouling caused by incomplete burning or over fueling? if my car was properlly tuned (hopefully by Mase), would this still be a problem?

fouling occurs when the plug doesn't reach its operating temperature. the plug never cleans itself up and starts misfiring.

I ran those plugs last year and had very good luck with them.

and dont forget what ignition you run.

I run the 1A-9's too. Some people like the 2A-9's(extended reach) but I don't. No real reason why.
