The crank has been turned to a 277 degree off set and I am using a PAMCO ignition with Mikes Green Monster coils.

Does anyone have experience with which spark plugs I should use with the Heiden Tuning 750cc big bore kit? I was just going to pick up some BP7ES plugs but thought I would ask first if they are appropriate for this mod? Thanks, Nelson
