i have personally not have had any problems with the c6tgc as of late but dont really recommend 97t except for break in plug as they are very very brittle , large air orifice and thin element provide for easy tuning but plugs dont last long at all , i would personally change 97t plugs about every 6-8 tanks of fuel (no joke)

take my advice for what its worth , its up to you , i am not really trying to sell anybody plugs as some have mentioned before but more so offering the advice based off of knowledge from what i have seen from customers engines and have personal experience with

words to live by. I change my c6 plugs on average every other race day or 3 times a gallon. Never a flame out in over 7 gallons. Knock on wood.
