    I use XP605s in mine instead of the copper cores. the L32 seems to approve.

    how are they burning?

    Those are cooler than stock, have mods?

    and iridiums are fine, platinum is not.

    but copper is most ideal.

    Old motors...old technology. They love copper plugs like they enjoy cold thermostats and high octane gas.

    Still works...even though people are goin' different routes.

    Except that it's a waste spark system that destroys copper plugs.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Are you saying supercharged 3800's aren't waste spark?

    Basically it comes down to...welcome to modding. If you plan on it...get used to changing your 1.99 spark plugs every 2 or 3 oil changes. If not, then sure...spring for the Iridiums.

    Copper can still fail as much on S/C engines. It's simply not as much of a waste, since it can make use of the cooler properties of the copper unlike the N/A motor, which will simply lose 1-2mpg from copper.

    Right...it can still fail, I agree.

    But at the rate you change them out...failure rate is slim to none.

    True. Change them at 15k, and you'll never have a problem. Personally, I'd still check/re-gap Iridiums at 50k regardless, if only to keep them from seizing to the engine, so there's that.
