Using the rapid fires in my 408. This particular motor has always been finicky with whatever plugs I have put in it, but the Rapid fires have been the only problem free plugs so far. It's the first motor I've had them in, but they've been great so far.

thanks tim, there goes a +1 for the rapidfires

orange: yes but, its just that a friend of mine is working at GM Parts, and he can getme a good deal on those options.. he is running the rapidfires and he claims they are better than iridium, like iridium last longer but the rapid fire works better or something like that, but i want to ask here before i buy them this weekend!!

thanks
