Don't know if you have already selected tires to test, but for what is
worth [ nothing ],
I would like to see you test the Hoosier sports car DOT - bias ply
street TDs
and the Avon ACB10 sports :-)
keep up the good work !

Sorry to bomb the list, but Jack Brooks asked what Bosch Platinum plug I
have been using. I've had great luck with the W8AP plug that was
recommended to me eons ago. They're not easy to get, but they seem to have
just the right heat range. I haven't been able to find them on any cross
reference chart, but the W8AC plug is equivalent to the NGK B5HS, which is
a very hot plug. Seems unlikely that it's really that hot.
