Stay away from bosch and splitfires they are gimmic plugs. I used both of them for extended periods and bosch even used one of my ideas to improve the +4s (well Im sure anyone could have thought of it)
the +4s actually have more electrode area to get in the way of flame propogation than a standard spark plug so when mine started running bad I clipped two of the electrodes and they actually ran better until one of the insulators (around the center electrode!) broke and I chukked them. witness bosch's new design the +2s (ha!)
stick with delcos.

I used them for a long time and they have the lowest resistance of any aftermarket wire (tested by shops). I do like others better though because the splitfires are a little thin.

If you ever plan to put headers on that thing, I suggest that you go with a set of Accel Super Stock Universal Fit wires and make them a little longer. Stock length wires won't give you enough length to keep them away from the headers. I also agree that splitfires suck!
