Default Sparkinator replacement

Well I priced some plugs at advanced and I'm wondering which to go with. They have the NGK v powers for 2.29 and the NGk g power platinums for 2.89. I know the originals are alittle cheaper but there is barely a difference and I was wondering if the platinums will not be as good as the oem style plugs. Thanks for any insight

The only advantage a platinum plug has over copper is that they last longer under optimal conditions(which is assuming your engine is running correctly).

Given how easy it is to change plugs on these motors stick with copper. copper is the better conductor.

I'll probably go the coppers then. I wasn't thinking any performance gain and such it more of reliability and easibility to start. I always do maintence early on anything I own. Lol.
