This has been discussed in other posts, but wanted to add some pics and history. My '91 is ported, full SW exhaust (headers to tips) and tuned.

I installed NGK TR7ix plugs gapped at .050" about 2,500 miles ago. Had dead coil, so replaced it. Wires were good. Had a slight, but noticeable stumble at low rpm acceleration. Decided to pull plugs. What I found shocked me. Only 2 of the 8 plugs remained at .050. Others were about .058. However #7 and #8 were .068! As others have indicated, batch fire and iridium don't seem to like one another. Moved to NGK 4177 (TR6) copper core. Gapped at .045".

Engine is back to 100%. Picture of #7 attached..20201030_183430.jpg
