If your refering to the Platinum as being a bad choice, its not the greatest, but nothing to worry about. However, the factory LSx plugs with Platinum "disk tips" are to worry about. The increased cylinder pressure tends to blow the disk off, increasing the gap, and reducing the plugs efficiency. GL.
