Well idk I herd those plugs are bad for lt1 s i'm not really sure why they are but Bosch is not a good spark plug from what I herd. I think it has something to do with the multi-electrode. Im not sure just telling you what i herd.

bosch plugs are crap for american cars or any car for that matter , i have run some lil test with different plugs and the bosch +2's and almost every plug that has a electrode that is buried in the ceramic has a weak spark compared to the exposed electrode plugs,

they guy that i bought my Z from had those bosch +2's in it and it ran like *** and i put in some splitfire platinum plugs with the normal electrode not the split one and they are real nice quality SS base and they work great i have had no issues with the split fires

but my fav plugs is NGK's they work great in any car . autolites ,ac delco rapid fires, NGK iridiums , ngk u grooves , ngk platinums , hell all ngk's kick butt lol

just my 2 cents

I tried Bosch regular plugs, and they ran good for about 2 months, then fell off rapidly. When changing plugs is so much fun on our cars, I try to change them as infrequently as possible. I personally like autolite platinums (not double platinums). Even though they are F***d related, they have a good mix of life. price, and performance IMHO.

A "search" shows they are the correct Bosch plugs for the car, and cost $1.25 each. In effect, you are putting in questionable plugs that are only worth $10. They would appear to be a non-platinum plug, so their life will not be exceptional. Unclear from the descriptions I found whether they are a single-electrode or multi-electrode plug. How many electrodes do they have? The problems people experience with the Bosch plugs seem to be related to the multi-electro design, and in particular the platinum plugs.

Using them, because they were "free" is not a good reason.
