What Plugs to use???

Just curious what plugs everybody's using or whats best for an LB9. I was running R45 ac delco's and the car seemed slow under 2800 rpm. Swithed to a set of rapid fires and picked up some bottom end but it just does'nt rev as fast as it used to.

Eather your old plugs were horrible or something , but rapid fires are not going to give you an extra advantage. If so, everybody here would run them. Basically most use stock AC's like myself.

I currently have the standard AC plugs, but considering the chore to change them it might be worth thinking about platinum plugs. No expectation of a performance gain, just longer life....


I've also had good results with Autolite plugs.
