I won a set of the NGK Laser Iridiums on here and just put them in yesterday. I have the car torn down right now for a race tomorrow, so I can't tell you how they do, but I'll know tomorrow afternoon lol!!!

Just get standard platinums, Motorcraft or NGK, just don't get bosch, I've heard bad things.

I've heard very good things about those plugs and was going to get them myself soon.

sorry but they are junk. the center electrode erodes away quickly on them causing misfires. i put them in alot of cars and every one of them wore out under 30,000 miles.

Autolite platinum AP 764 is a good plug and the double platinum APP 764 is good also. they will generally last 70,000 miles.
i like the Delco CopperR44LTS6's for NA cars and the Halo plug H-8 for forced induction or autolite 604's


cheap copper plugs are good too. the following are all great plugs for the 3.8

Autolite
764,765,604,605,103,104

Delco
R44LTS6

Champion
RS12YC (401)

Halo Plug www.haloplug.com
H-8 (i'm using them with good results) this is an old part# new part# is
HALO SPARK PLUG B-GR15YC-1
http://www.haloplug.com/osc/product_...tPLUGTYPE=HALO

Denso Iridiums
IT18
IT20

these are expensive but the best plugs on the market
