Don't go with bosch. Go with AC Delco, the are the oe and work the best. I tried some "better" plugs and they caused me to misfire and get horrible gas mileage.
Thanks for the opinions so far... Should I go with 604s then, I am basically all stock? Does anybody have NGK Iridiums? Are they anygood?
Absolutely 110% do not go with the ngk iridiums! Those are what have given me the most problems so far.
For now stick with either the original AC Delco plugs, or go with the copper Autolite 605's. You will have to replace the copper's more often, so if you don't like doing that, get the others. Platinum's do not last long or work very well in our motors.
I use the NGK iridium plugs in my car and haven't had any problems out of them. I use the TR55IX in mine. If you decide to go NGK, you may want to go with the TR5IX's since you're not modded much yet.
I for one would never run an ac plug in anything (them and champion are the only plugs I have had foul in 3 different cars) I am running ngk in the gp, and no problems, I run bosch in my bravada, and have never had a problem.
I've fouled out both bosch and ngk. Never tried champion, but ac delco's are the only ones that seem to work for me.
If you want a cheap plug that last under 10K, then for your mod level, the one step colder than stock AL 605's are a good choice. If you want a good plug that last a long time then the NGK Iridium TR55IX would be a good option, although pricey compared to the Autolites.
Iridiums come stock in the newer models and are fine. I've noticed no difference running any of the copper or iridium plugs, KR or otherwise. By far the best plug I've run is the Nology (Brisk) Silver Racing, but they are VERY pricey.
^^ You will probably want to go with the 104's.
I ended up returning the bosch, and bought the NGK TR55IX, so hopefully they will work nice.
GOOD CHOICE!! The TR series IX plugs are awesome!!
