Spark Plugs
Spark Plugs Hey fellas I was just wondering how often I should change my plugs and wires. I swapped the stock ones for some NGK's and Taylor wires on my first cam install around 15K. I recently did another cam install and the car has 52K on it. Should I go ahead and change them out? Thanks.

With the copper NGKs you're probably better off changing them every 10 or 15k just to get peak performance. I change mine twice a year (about every 8-10k) It only takes me 45min to do a plug change though.

I did my first plug and wire change at 72k, i bought the car with 69k, and It had all original plugs in it, and most of the plugs had no platinum left on the top so i think all but two had gaps of .70+

Second that. If you ever think of trying something different, may want to look into E3 plugs. Recently was gonna replace my plugs & wires with NGK's & Taylors & decided to go with E3's & Magnecore's instead. Am very happy with the results. The NGK/Taylor combo is a good choice & am not suggesting otherwise. After looking into plugs & wires, felt as though E3's & Magnecores were a better choice for me.
