Best oil to use? Best spark plug to use?

[Ghoste]

That is correct.

NGK for plugs
Valvoline vr-1 racing oil + eos additive & wix/Napa gold oil filters
Firecore wires....topshelf quality and construction


Ron

Ron, I changed my oil to the Valvoline V-1 20W50 as you commend here over the weekend. I could not find the EOS additive you speak of and was wondering where to get it/order it and if it is needed when  running Comp Cams roller rockers as I do in my 440? Also, What part number is it for the NGK plugs and do you know if they come in the short variety in order to install them around my headers?

As mentioned by the previous poster....EOS is avilable at your local GM dealer parts counter. You can also use Comp Cams breakin lube or ZZDP+

I like the NGK XR5 plugs when using pump gas compression and factory Iron heads. These are std. dimension plugs, FYI

Andy, i went and looked at your website (nice car  ) and realized that you are running a set of Eddy RPM heads....you didn't mention that when asking for a plug recommendation. 

The XR5's are a 13/16 plug for stock heads and you need a 5/8 plug for alum heads. 

The correct NGK plug for your application is the BCPR-6ES

You're welcome Andy 

I don't know what Cam you have in your engine but if it's a flat tappet (hydralic or solid) the EP additive is cheap insurance. The added protection won't hurt any other stress points in the valvetrain either. Rocker arms, valve tips and pushrods are all under tremendous loads so it's important to have a good lubrication package with lots of Exteme Pressure additives to prevent premature wear or even worse, failure of those components. 


When you get a chance, send some warm air from Fla up to Canada, will ya !

are these oil filters good or bad ? when the 440 is all said and done it should be a little over 400 horse power .
