Default Opinions about Bosch Spark Plugs

What is the word around about these plugs in 5.0s.

I put the platinum 4 in my Grand Prix and because GM produces such a hot spark that the plugs are eaten away after about 5K miles. They did give me a powerband type feel but how do they comply with our engines?

Tell that to bousch about burning away. But it kind of sucked when i was getting backfiring after 5,000 miles from putting in the new plugs.

That is probably why I felt what i felt. The old ones were SHOT. Using AC delco now....they work great...for my Grand Prix that is. Now on to my Mustang......lol

They suck. They only work well in certain applications....stangs aren't one of those.
