    I am going to order a bunch of spark plugs right away, but to get a good deal I have to order in bulk. This is a bb chevy 14-71 HHR will be running close to 40 PSI. Which heat range would be best -9 or -10 or will they both run ok? I don't want to order 100+ plugs only to find out I got the wrong ones.

    Thanks for any info

    In this case order the -10. If you already had the -9 then I would say use them. It makes no difference to reading the plug base ring but the -10 center electrode runs cooler so if you go way lean it will not act like a glo plug.
