Spark Plug Pros&Cons....
I know there have been a few spark plug threads, but i have to make another :-)
I would really like to know the pros & cons of these plugs, (in a stock application) specifically autolite i didn't see anyone say anything good or bad bout them. And are all these platnium plugs actually better than others or just a waste of $$$...
Bosch 4s
Champion
Autolite/Platinum/Double Platnium
Splitfire
AC Rapidfire

well, you said in a STOCK application, but i really dont have much experience.
once i got boosted....i tried almost every kind of plug out there....
i like autolites the best. Good performance and consistentcy...plus they have a little more material on the plug for a offset wrench to grab onto for those with headers

I run Autolite #51 in my 383. they work best for me and make the most power in my non-stock engine.
In stock engines I've had best results with Nippon Denso T20P-U plugs,
I avoid any type of platinum plugs.

I just started running Bosch Plat 4s a couple weeks ago and like them a lot. They took care of my miss(any new plug would've) and the car runs better then ever. Are they worth the $$$$? Probably no plug is worth that much but it did help me and sticking w/ them.
