What kind of spark plugs would you recommend in a 472 Hemi with aluminum heads, 11.5 compression and a mild mechanical cam.
Thanks.

What's the quality of the local fuel you will be using in it? Which brand of spark plugs do you like to use? If Champions I would try a RC9YC or RN9YC and if that looks like it is to hot try a RN6YC or a RC6YC. If you like Autolites try a AR3911 or the colder AR3910 scope twocents
BTW, is that compression ratio actual measured or maybe correct confusedworkIf it is the actual ratio those plugs should be in the ball park thumbs If it is lower than that then you might want to use a hotter plug work It is a lot safer to use a colder plug when in doubt so be safe thumbs
