Those rapid fires are the best for your money. just installing them alone give you much better spark better throttle response and better gas mileage.

I use NGK VR-4
seem to work great for me but i'm sure that you won't be able to tell the difference between 2 top of the line plugs.

i just started work with autolite as a co-op and they seem to make some really good plugs. you wouldn't believe the amount of testing they do. they also make the splitfire plugs but from what i've heard they're of no benefit. i've seen test reports on bosch +4 and the ceramic insulator gradually detriorates along with the centerwire until the ceramic breaks off and bounces around your cylinder.
