Normaly that is the issue, plus contamination thru the combustion mix that will be the leading cause of issues with plugs, So guys will change plugs and heat ranges to compensate for such issues. Besides be amazed as to who makes most plugs anyways!

Ground straps are always positioned the same over the electrodes and gaps are always consistant right out of the box. Fastest 300

There are some that swear by Champion, and they are stock on Mopars for many years. I dislike them. They had poor QA and tended to foul easier than Autolite and NGK. The porcelain was more brittle and would break easier too.

I always used Champion in my braket cars because everybody else said they were junk. I was winning 15-20 braket races a year and using the same plugs sometimes for two seasons. While my friends and competators sometimes changed theirs weekly.

So I just buy the cheap ones. I do however have to purposely screw-up the threads to keep the little connector "nibs" from coming loose. Autolite 3923s FTW!

I use different brands and type and heat range for my motors. Tell us a little about your motor, compression ratio, iron or aluminum head and type fo fuel ad the planned usage, IE race only, street and and strip, street only.
