Recommended Spark Plugs?

[Bobd1001]

I wanted to see if there was any sort of spark plug that is best recommended for our cars (I have a 2000 3.8L camaro). I ordered the Bosch Platinum 4's a few days ago, and just realized that may have been a mistake, and just want some opinions on what plugs work best. From what ive heard, the AC delcos are good...

This is more of a general tech topic, but most people will tell you to stay away from the multi-tip plugs. Different people have different recommendations, but I use the AC Delco Iridiums, which are actually NGK TR55 plugs. Do a search and you'll find lots of threads on this topic that can better help you decide what to get.

Yeah big mistake on the bosch plugs they are junk, my brother always ran thos in his 97 30th ann. and he had more trouble with the damn things then they were worth.

Bosch isn't too bad for N/A no mods stock , but yes the Bosch +4's, platiums and iraduims are not worth the money when you can get a $2 or less NGK plug that will perform better. Might not last long but I never liked when GM said their Platuim plugs were good for 100,000 miles because mine looked like crap when taken out at 100,000 miles. Car was stock except for stock K&N filter, RK Sport body kit , Stereo and lowering springs. Then I added RK Sport headers, 3" exhaust and suspension componets. Wanted to make sure my warranty was up before modding engine stuff.

I just ordered some AC Delco Iridiums, hopefully they work well.

For my 3.4 I run the stock AC Delco resistor plugs and like them. It's what the ignition system was built for to give it a longer spark. For the 3.8 I run the AC Delco irridiums (technically NGK).

Re: Recommended Spark Plugs?

I have the Delco iridiums in my 3.8 and haven't had any issues. I haven't pulled them to look at them but idle and acceleration have been smooth. I bought them for the durability, not any insignificant performance boost.
