I've ran Odonnell for awhile, for price obviously. I haven't had a single problem with them, ever. Although I have been told by several people that the Werks plugs are like night and day difference with the B5. I've got a Werks #5 I'm waitingto try when and if the 97T goes out,LOL

OD plugs work awesome if you run stock shimming and low compression....but when you start pulling shims and raising compression the OD plugs fall apart really fast...

This is a tough vote for me as I was always a firm believer that you should always match the best plug to the engine you are running. My Nova runs best with a Nova plug. My Picco runs best with a Picco or Werks plug, my Werks seems to like Werks plugs the best, etc, etc. I have yet to find that perfect plug for any engine but in a pinch OS plugs seem to be closest so they got my vote.

Os plugs, never have a problem with them in any motor I run them in. Last a long time and make tuning easy.

When I use standard-plugs I have to say the Novarossi C(4,5,6,7)G.
The Special Ultra makes tuning so easy and forgiving.
