they're okay, I think the difference iirc on those vs 9333's are they have a tin firing ring vs the steel.

I'm running the 8548's right now. Like mjr said, the difference is tin vs stainless fire ring. Arguably the 8548 is "easier" on aluminum heads than the 9333, and the 9333 is preferred when power levels get higher from boost etc. That said, they're both easy on aluminum heads and both stand up to high hp boosted apps. Either is fine, so it comes down to price, with the 9333 being slightly preferred over the 8548.

Since you already have the 8548's I'd use those.

i use these....about $120 for a pair, and you need the grooves cut in the heads, but not the block
