Re: What spark plug are you using in your stroked Hemi - 08/14/1808:16 PM
I would start with either Champion RC9YC or Autolite #3911 or 3910 is(colder than 3911) or Autolite 3923 or 3924 Any of them will work with iron heads and up to 11.5 to 1 compression ratio on 91 octane pump swill

Champion numbers tell you about the plugs, if you wanted to start with RN9YC,R= resistor plug, N=13/16 socket size with 3/4 inch thread length, 9= the heat range , bigger #s are hotter, smaller are colder in Champion plugs Y= extended spark plug ground strap, C=copper core. On your deal I would start with a cold plug like the RN9YC or the smaller 5/8 socket size RC9YC plugs IHTHs

I agree with cab. No need to mess with the N series Champion plug. Just use the C series and that way you get the 5/8 hex instead of the big, clunky 13/16 hex.
If you think you need the 11 heat range Champion, I don't think they have that in the C series. Don't have my catalog handy but if that's what you need, you can use the RC12YC instead.
At 10.2:1 compression and pump gas my guess is you'll need the 12 but I'd start with the 9 and work with it. Easier to tune up to a warmer plug than it is to start on the warm side and have issues. IOW, I start colder and then use a warmer plug if I need it.
