Default Spark Plugs?
Installing some new headers on my 02 WS6 tomorrow and figure to replace my spark plugs. What is everyone using for spark plugs? Any recommendation? Experience? NGK? E3? Accel? MSD?

The overall consensus is that the NGK plugs works best with the LS motor. That's all that I've ever ran and I've never had one single issue.

I've heard/read this as well. Doesn't seem that anyone has ran into any issues with the NGK Spark Plugs. I'm picking up some of these tomorrow. Just wanted to see what else is out there that people are using with thier LS motors.

Oddly, I've had NGK plugs go bad on my T/A. ACDelco plugs don't have this problem.

NGK TR55 with MSD wires as they have a bendable boot to clear the LT's. Almost 100k on my car using these.

you do realize that acdelco doesnt make spark plugs right? they are labeled acdelco but mfg'ed by NGK. I laugh whenever people recommend acdelco "brand".
