Hi Guys,

Im running on stock spark plug since I first bought my Camaro in 2009. Now Im on full bolt ons and I wonder if I need to upgrade my plugs too.

Thanks for the advice

Experts say look for one with a gold "fine wire" center electrode. May not be as long lasting as platinum, but better/hotter spark than platinum.

They also still say it can make a small performance improvement to "index" your plugs by placing a mark on the upper part of the plug body indicating where the gap is located, and try to have it face the incoming fuel charge.

It's said to incrementally quicken ignition and enhance flame propagation. Drag racer's still use this old trick today!

I've heard that we better stick with the OEM AC-Delco ones...
