I used pp8's in both my saffs running stage 3 and
i do drive my cars hard,and never had a problem with them.
And as rizla said most of the tuners will tell you there fine
on a stg3 cossie.
you've may have had a problem with a set in the
past Damo but even the best sets of plugs are
sometimes duff,so you saying they are no good
"FACT" is in my eyes unfounded

I've been trying to figure out what plugs to run also. I've been using the NGK R7234-9 plugs but they are no longer available here in the USA. Which is too bad becuse they worked great in my car. Would the Denso IK31 be a good replacement for the NGK 9? I'll be running around 380 - 400 hp.

I do not advise running a std PP8 as these are a very warm projected electrode plug and are very easy to overheat.
A motor running very rich will have cool enough cylinders to get away with it but most wont. Ask in general Discussion if anyones had a PP8 drop a tip through a piston on them.. you will have plenty of replies.

believe the IK 31 is the equivalent to the NGK R7234-10 and the IK27 is the equivalent to the NGK R7234-9
Right just got off the phone to BurtonPower who sold me the plugs and they said they are fine 
They said as well a tip can break off from any plug and when i went in to buy them i said plugs for an Escos .They said whats it running i said stage 3 they said here you go PP8 (platinum)
If they said another plug i would have bought em if explained why but they didnt they sold me the PP8s

With the greatest respect.. BURTONPower may have been the pioneers in the Ford tuning industry.. Aswell as having very good stock levels...
But I wouldnt take their advise re plugs...
Anyway, just to clarify, I Have never had a plug tip melt off... piston yes
plug no, not yet...
BTW me 7 375 Harvey engine the same plugs above..

Me 8 kinda....
If you dont want to pay for Iridium tips, i will sell you some 071s as well.
Those 2 sets are my ONLY advice RE YB spark plugs.

Right i was just looking at the old plugs that was in the car and they was 071,c motorcraft platinum 
As some one said above that why we change them to PP8,s did not idle that well when warm
And its much better on the PP8,s

Don't use PP8's!!!!!! 
When I had my escos set up with Mark - he put in the Denso plugs the he recommends for my power level - no questions asked took his advice and changed the plugs and the car has not missed a beat.
