I've got the autolites, and they are just happy as clams in
sand. I do LONG, hard hot runs from LA to Ukiah, a couple of
times a year, at 85mph, 90 - 95 F outdoor temps, and 2 or 3 folks
and a load of camping gear. The 2 plug wires that died were
the rearmost, getting the least fresh air.
Then I have the QuickD intake and the JBA, ceramic coated,
SS headers. No Blower, Nitrous or anything.
Just long, hard hot runs. (550 mi in 7.5 hrs)
Oh, and then the "Grapevine" on the I5 in Calif, that will choke most
cars & trucks. Dakotas go pretty well though.

Good thing too, sice mine died at a grocery store parking lot.
had to run for a week with overgapped plugs before I could change them
