    Spark Plug Heat Range

    Hello. 383" SBC, Terminator TBI EFI 10:1 compression. Roller cam.
    .528" Intake, .536" Exhaust lift.
    221° Intake, 226° Exhaust duration.
    @ .050 - 110° Lobe Separation Angle.
    What would be a good spark plug heat range to start with? Thanks.

    Try the stock heat range if they're firing clean (no carbon deposits), or one step colder.
    May God's grace bless you in the Lord Jesus Christ.

      Does a primary header tube temp average of 625° sound high? There's a little carbon, but I thinks it’s old. I’m using a heat range 6.
