stock AC Delco are great if your not looking for anything better. They last longer than any other spark plug and had pretty good spark as well.

On my lt-1 I basically tried all spark plugs: ac delco's, ngk's-tr55 platinum, tr5, autolites, bosch platinum, bosch platinum 4's etc, etc......
All spark plugs are just what they are some have more advantages in life than others, but I noticed something different when I tried Bosch 4's the
engine will idle alot smoother and rev up alot smoother than all the other one's. I really liked the bosch 4's even if they cost more than the others brands I think it's worth it on the "opticrap" lt-1's.
Oh by the way if you'r changing your spark plug yourself, godluck especially on the passanger side, don't be surprised when you see the manifold casting numbers inprinted on your forearms. It is really thight in space.
GOOD LUCK!
