Cool Getting some ping at WOT looking for colder plug recomendations

So I have a 1998 GT and want to try a colder plug say 1-2 heat ranges colder. Yes now that i think about 2 heat ranges colder just to try and knock it out.

Anyone know where I can find the info to select a plug or anyone have any recommendations?

Happy New Year guys!

you are gone to have to Google it. all plug mfg. are different. Some go up for colder some go down and then they skip heat ranges for certain plugs

What plugs are you running now, how many miles on them?

What do they look like? I.e. do they look as though they have been running hot?

2 Heat ranges is hundreds of degrees. I wouldn't drop that much if you aren't running something serious.

Getting it data logged or on a dyno would be more productive.
