Hi,

I've been using Accel 114's for the last ten or 15 years, they seem to=20=

work fine. I have a collection of different temp range plugs from Accel=20=

all the way from 113 through 117. I've never taken the time to play on =
the=20
dyno to see if there's any difference changing heat range. I know =3D =
"my=20
bad". I've never had a plug fail despite the amount of internet detritus=20=

regarding the quality of this brand.

In any case I was thinking about switching to NGK. My TR6 motor is 12:1,=20=

Webers, cam (street duration Isky Z19), header, etc. Ignition is Mallory =
/=20
Pertronix.

Would the NGK BP6ES or BP7ES be a better choice?

Regards,
rml
