    Delco Iridium are well worth the 45$ IMO unless you like to change plugs a lot

    if you are referring to the aforementioned double platinums, they should be fine, but for some reason, those copper plugs run the best in our engines...they just don't last as long...

    plugs are easy as hell on these motors. i pretty much changed my plugs ever other oil change.

    also, copper plugs are better for a performance application and do a good job at reducing knock in comparision to other plugs. that is why i said if youre going to beat your car run copper.
