Default A question about spark plugs.....

It's just about time for me to replace the ol' spark plugs. Now since I'm going to be loading a performance tune, is there a specific spark plug that you would recommend?

NGK's are great too. Better on the performance side since they run cooler depending on part # But if you don't have a crazy setup, then put the MC in.

I have been told to stay away from platium plugs and to go with copper plugs. They say copper is more consistant. Platium may last longer but are more prone to misfires

Good call I forgot about that. I've heard that as well.
