angle or straight plugs?

so I'm looking at getting some sportsman 2 heads from world products and they list them with either angle or straight plugs. now i've heard angle plugs get a slightly better combustion, but which would fit better with my SLP headers?

shorties are really not designed for angles

the angle used varies. (and is normally used in more than 10 to 1 compression motors- 11.5 to 1 was the old rule of thumb).

But, your only hope might be using a set of short plugs. like accels - if they make a set for the sportmans.

I had the Accel shorty plugs, they were crap, the ends that the wires connect to kept coming loose, and several others on this board as well.
