Default Spark Plugs

What is the best spark plug you can get? I just put in the Bosch 4+, with the 4 prongs, I can't really tell a difference so I was wondering it there was even a beast at all... a spark is a spark

it all depends on what your setup is.
if you are going F/I then iridium or platinum would be better
or N/A copper(platinum if you want to spend the money) is your best bet
but you were probably wondering about brands weren't you? well then just go with NGK cause that is what i have!
seriously, there isn't one spark plug out there that is the best ever, your Bosch's will do just fine

Ok, I just got the job at Napa and I felt like putting my discount to use so I spent $4 on a set of $24 spark plugs. I'm going to get they're cross drilled and slotted rotors that are only $91 each and are manufactured in the same plant as the brand name big brake kits.

copper = better conductor which means great spark energy. copper is soft and doesn't last long

platinum = not as good a conductor as copper, but lasts forever (thats why you dont have to change sparkplugs for 100,000ish miles w/ platinums)

iridium = good conductor like copper and lasts a long time, which is why they cost alot.

i'd rather get the coppers for 1.50-2.00 a plug and be replacing every 15,000 or less miles. thats just me though.

you wont be able to tell the difference in the plugs, the biggest difference is going from old, fouled plugs to brand new ones... doesn't matter what material really. set gap right and go (.029" i think)
