Default Can't find the Spark Plug I need

Well as talked about in a couple other posts I am going to a cooler heat range for the 14:1 on 110 octane.
stocker being dr8ea I figured either dr9ea or #10 heat range and try them both to see which one gives me the appearance I should have. The HPR website says to use "#10" heat range. Problem is, this is useless info because a dr10ea does not exist - I just confirmed that on the NGK website after having no luck finding it at vendors - and I have no idea what other letter prefixes can be used in the place of this dr plug, if any.

Any help is appreciated, I guess I'll try the dr9ea, and if its still too hot I am down until I get the right answer.

I actually think the 9 will do just fine. I know some folks who run the 13.5/1 piston with 110 octane fuel on nos with the 9 and it looks great. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I have used NGK plugs for many years and all I can say is that they foul out very easy.
Trying to do testing on a sunday with no major parts store open, has forced me to try a different plug.

The last two years I have been using Champion plugs!!!!!!!!!
Yes I am using a plug that can be bought for $1.35 and sometimes on sale for $.99
I get better readings and can take richer jetting without dying.

I am using a Champion stock number 110 RA8HC , when I tried to use #109 RA6HC, this plug was too cold for my motor.

Champions are opposite of NGK's - Lower the numer - colder where NGK's get hotter.

Try the RA6HC and tell me what you think.
