About a year ago I did a head and cam swap. At that time I switched to Bosh platinum 4 plugs.
I blew a cam sensor recently so the top of the engine is off and I am replacing a few things like plug wires.
Should I bag the Platium 4's and go with the NGK's? I read that NGKs are the preferred plugs for our engines but the Bosch's have work OK so far. I haven't pulled any plugs yet so I don't know how they are holding up.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I agree with the others, get some NGK's. TR55s if you are running N/A, TR6s if you're spraying

NGK is the way to go.

I guess NGKs are the ****? I have never used them. Back when my IROC's 383 was built by Pacific Performance in Huntington Beach, the owner told me to not use Bosch Platinums. He told me to simply go with the AC Delcos and change them every 12~15K miles. They were a lot easier to take out of a 3rd gen than a 4th gen, so I guess that doesnt help too much here. What makes the NGKs so much better?
