TR55 Coppers.

Dont know about the F-bodies, but the C5's use platinums that have a "puck" on the inside of the outer electrode that pops off on a LOT of C5's screwing up the gap.

Bosch Platinum +4s. Had them in my '99 SS and have them in my 'Vette now. They last damn near forever, you don't have to gap them, and they only cost $6 apiece. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

NGK TR55s. Hey steve, I had the worst luck with the Bosch Platinum +4 plugs. My TA ran like crap and they caused what felt like a vibration in the drive train. When I installed the NGKs, everything was back to normal. It's wierd how different LS1s react differently to changes.
