Default Plugs our LS1's love??

I always had good luck with NGK but i just ordered a set of Autolite XP Iridium plugs for my car.. Wondered if anybody out there has tried them yet?

Reason im giving them a try is they are iridium and Autolite has a 2 dollar rebate on there iridium plugs(each) and that made the whole set of 8 $26 bucks after rebate... figured it was worth a shot... Thanks

Only ever use NKGs in my car.

Around here, it's pretty common to only run AutoLite in lawn mowers and weed whackers. Never once had good results with them in any vehicle I put them in.

they work well and they're cheap, so I'm sticking with them

NGK has my vote as well. The regular Boschs seem to be OK, but the multi-electrode ones have been documented with drama.

You wont be getting anywhere with those MSD wires. Read many threads about them. It actually seems the cheapies are the best wire.

This X 100.


Just pulled some bosch plugs out of the wifes Accord EX (V6). Car wouldn't start randomly, emissions smelled like crap, etc. Put NGK's in there and not a problem since. Not saying all Bosch products are crap, but from what I've heard the issue I was having is not that uncommon.

I removed my E3's, the tips came loose and unscrewed in the MSD boot which made for a frustrating time swapping plugs. Never again
