with the mods you listed, i would not waste the money on expensive plugs. you will never feel the difference in performance. if you were running a full on mod motor for racing, then by all means go for the better plugs. for tuning, you need a stable and repeatable flame pattern across the combustion chamber. that eliminates those multi-electrode plugs. without a stable spark, you can't get a stable burn pattern. the platinum plugs usually have small electrodes, and lend themselves better to tuners. they are spendy at $8/ea. compared to $1.50. in any motor, you will get better performance from indexing the plugs than anything else, assuming you have correct heat range and plug reach. i would just stick with some regular AC, Champion or Autolites. the cheaper the better, the ceramics on the Autolites have held up better to higher voltage ignition coils for me. all my motors except the 406 have the $1.50 Autolites, 406 has NGK's.

Ummm, cause not everybody gets sucked in by advertising hype?Larry82 said:
I think I am going to try them next, which brand do you use, NGK? Where have you found the best price?Larry82 said:
NGK were much cheaper than Denso. Found them at O'Reilly at essentially the best internet price I could find. Noticed an immediate improvement in idle quality and running quality.garycr14 said:
Sorry, that was no 'troll snipe'. Please share your research with us (your own, not advertising crap from the manufacturer) that indicates that this particular spark plug is superior to every other type both in the short and long term in this application. If all you've done is put a set in your own car and found the idle and running is 'better' than with the old set, that's hardly an objective approach. It's also not enough evidence to suggest that any other choice is inferior, or to question other people's intended actions.Larry82 said:

I see similar claims from people that swap oil types and two weeks later proclaim that the new one is 'better' because nothing bad happened. Yet.
Tell you what, I won't call you 'Bubba' if you don't call me 'Troll' :L
