Default What Spark Plugs

with my car nearing 50K miles, I want to look into sparkplugs.

Besides Ac Delco's plugs, What other choices have been good for a LS4?

I run NGK's in my LT1 with no issues, how are they on LSX based cars?

I run Autolite Iridiums in mine. The part number I run is XP5243. Some run XP104's too. 104's are 1 heat range colder and 5243's are 1.5 to 2 heat ranges colder. I have had no problems thus far. I get 2 more mpg too.

I wouldn't go more than 1/2 heat range colder myself, especially in the north. But I would go Iridium, manufacturer is your choice.
