I'm looking at one right now and can vouch for that.

i installed them on my 00 SS with msd wires. i ran my car with them for about 5000 miles and they made my car misfire bad, at stop lights my car would bog down to about 300 and then go back up. i had to take the car to the dealership to get new plugs. Not sure if this happens all the time but just letting you know what happened.

any advantage of spending the extra $1/plug to get the TR55 G Power platinum plugs?
