I've got the NGK split fires and they work great. I've heard that the Bosch Platinum +2s are great.

40 bux for plugs? why?..you get more spark with low ohm plug wires.....plat last longer and heat up a tick faster....

I use the Autolite Double Platiums, I get them for free from work. I heard bad things about the Bosch +4s.

i had a bad miss w/ bosch platinums that were only about 6 months old.

missed like a blind batter over 3000 rpm's , fell on it's face

after i replaced the plug wires, cap , rotor, fp reg, fuel pump, and coil.....i closed the gap way down on the plugs..and bingo problem cured...i switched to the $.99 plugs and ran like champ forever more.
