Default spark plugs

i jus read in an old post about spark plugs. it said more exspensive plugs are no better than the cheap ones. is that true? are the Bosch platinum +4 plugs any good?

what about plug wires, more exspensive the better or not?

I would recommend OEM.... or the .98 cent autolites.... plug wires are different... you want a good quality wire like Ford Performance or MSD to name a couple...

A very trusty mechanic on the sixer says that Bosch are crap, but yea, expensive plugs are just as good as most of the cheapies, only big diffenrece comes from highly moded engines, other difference is some of the expensive plugs last a little longer, but that's about it.
