H-10(stock) is a fairly hot plug itself. If you have to step up to h-11 or h-12 either your jetting is wrong or you are burning(using) oil and hotter plugs may or may not make your situation better. If you are using air filters that hinder airflow,they are prone to making your engine too rich or fat,hence the reason for hotter plugs.
I've run H-10's and Autolite 216's in my basically stock 8ba. Not much of a difference between the two, IMO. Running 216's right now.
