NGK has a large line-up of plugs of various heat ranges depending on your needs. My biggest concern with this Cali crap gas is detonation. So I check my plugs every 1,000 miles. Have also considered installing a wide band Air/Fuel meter from Innovate Motorsports. Other concern if not driving the vehicle daily is the rapid breakdown of the fuel so a product like stabil is a good idea.
I installed an AFR unit from Innovative and its the best thing I ever did. Dialed in my Edelbrock carb perfect!
