The 4554's are not really that great. You want a flat electrode and not the V-power (v-grooved center electrode).

I recommend the 3330's, BCPR7ES. The BCPR7ES-11's are the same plug but they come with a larger pre-set gap of about .044.

Did you do a single dyno run after installing each different set of plugs?

I'm curious how you got those numbers...

I swear by the NGK 3330's

I say you give them a shot. Best of all they are cheap.

Good plug if you are over 400hp which I am pretty sure you are.

For 400hp, yes it is a great plug just like Jared uses. I am telling you directly what NGK says. I would say that is a great source.
