+2 for TR55's. I'd also do wires at the same time if you haven't already.

I like the NGKs alot too. The copper conductor style will not have as long of a service life versus the iridium ones, but they are alot cheaper though.

Just to piggyback on this.. Allow me to throw another question out there... Wires huh? Well what would be some good ones? I would love to get some to match the color of my car. Hugger Orange is not the most common of color for plug wires.

I am also aware that i could reasearch it but whilst i am at work it is much more enjoyable just to pose these questions on here.

I would put a set of TR-55 plugs in with MSD wires. I have seen some durability issues with other brands of wires but the MSD's always hold up well.

In a stocker for daily driving like our 98SS or the 03 'vette I use the Iridium Delcos.
For the built h/c 00 Formula it's NGK copper.

Hey guys,

one question about this theme.
Ill order next days some stuff from summit to germany and i would like to buy new sparkplugs too.

I find the follow one:CLICK ME

Are these Irridium ones better then Platin or is it needless to buy spark plugs that cost so mutch? All i want is verry good ones.

I must order yll my stuff at summit, because i pay mutch for shipping

I always swore by the Bosch +4 plugs. My LT1's & Vortec engines love them. My 2000 SS did not like them. Someone pointed me to a GM Service bulletin that recommends AC Iridium plugs gaped at 0.40 instead of the 0.60. I made the change & the car idles & runs great! Anyone have or see that service bulletin?

Can anyone tell me please if this sparkplugs: CLICK ME are good for my 99 Z28 or exist any better ones?
I cant make a mistake, shipping to germany is mutch, so i must be shure to buy the right ones.

Thanks.
