  • Recommended Spark Plugs?

    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.

                I've got a 3.4 running on NGK. It's a safe bet

                  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.

                      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).

                        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.
