Anyone running regular AC delco plugs on their TPI?

The store closes in an hour and half, and i need to know which plugs i should go with? As of now i have AC Delco RAPIDFIRES and im not too pleased with them, So im not sure whether i should get Regular AC delco plugs. The motor is an 87' 305 TPI w/ L98 alluminum Vette Heads. From what i heard i wont touch Bosch, So i hear AC Delco or NGK, If so anyone know what heat/cold range i should go?

This might be too late, but I like both the regular delco plugs and the NGK's. Right now I am running the NGK's.

I'm running regular OEM-spec Delco plugs. Runs a whole lot better with them than the Bosch Plats I had.

You'll probably notice your idle inprove after ditching those Rapidfire's I've had nothing but problems with them.

I liked my rapid fires when I had them, the car really seemed to like them too.

AC Delco plugs are the way to go, I have tried several different mfg plugs and always came back to Delco, they just plain work better in my car.

I'm probably too late, but i normally run AC R43TS in about everything.

I'm running the accel shorty plugs that cross reference to that right now though, much easier with the SLP headers.

Champion RV15YC4 works great for me, but I'm running mostly stock engines with nothing over 11:1 compression.
