Which spark plugs to use?

What spark plugs should i used now, since im boosting and im broken in?

All stock leading?

or

Stock leading and trailing?

or

Something else?

Also, does it make a big difference running all leading plugs vs stock leading and trailing?

Search works wonders! It also depends on your setup. What turbo are you using, what kind of power are you shooting for?

I know i tried searching like

"All leading plugs"

"Spark Plug Setup"

stuff like that. nothing answered directly. Basically all i wnated to know if im running single turbo should i change my sparkplugs to all leading or something? I have a crane hi-6 ignition amp. I just wanted to make sure my ignition is sufficient. Right now on this turbo im aiming for 300-350 whp. But in the future 400-450 whp.

You mean all trailing, the 9's

It’s a colder plug (smaller insulator) so it will dissipate the combustion chamber’s heat faster.
