Re: Spark Plugs????

standard acdelco copper plugs should be fine
if you want something that will last a good 50k miles or so then go with platinums
just my 2 cents

Re: Spark Plugs????

I bought the E3 from Summit. (not installed yet) Here is their ad copied and pasted: The E3 equation--- Energy, Efficiency, Ecology.
E3 Spark Plugs are the product of years of fundamental research in the combustion field. The unique patented electrode configuration of these new E3 spark plugs increases the amount of combustion pressure created during each power stroke of an engine, which results in a marked increase in power output, fuel economy, and reduced emissions in all gasoline engines.

Re: Spark Plugs????

ngk tr55 plugs - $2 each
taylor spiro pro wires - $45

no need to run a stupidly high priced plug for a mild performance engine. nothing to gain but a lighter wallet.
