I ran platinum plus for a year and never had a problem. I went to Pep Boys once and asked them what plugs they used in the 03/04 cobra's, just to give me an idea on which plugs I should use,( because of the supercharger ). I was always told a 1 degree cooler plug with forced induction. Pep Boys tells me that the platinum plug was a direct oem replacement plug.???
Right now I'm using regular Autolite copper plugs. I can't tell the diff. between the two.
Maybe I'll try the NGK TR55's next year.

I have Autolite 103s. I haven't installed them yet though... too lazy. I really should get on that.

well its it installed but what crazy is that the dyno said 8.67 psi but the auto meter gauge only puts out 5 psi at best at wot. i told gtr safe tune... i have the parts to hit 380 plus but since my motor is 100,000 plus i wanted it safe. Also do you guys get alot of back pressure out of the exhaust. i dont have a brand exhaust its custom lol na just removed the muffers and add x pipe. it seems to back fire if i left of the throttle in every gear except 5th.
