    Yo all

    Im looking at getting new spark plugs and instead of just going to repco and buying the brand they hand to me, i was wondering what people can suggest for a good quality product that has some improvment in power.

    It wil be for me 3TC.

    Thanks in advance.

    ^^^true that^^^OEM denso is the go, platinums are better and iridiums are the same as HKS and TRUST plugs(all made by nippon denso)

    as long as their in the right heat range u won't see any problems, obviously some brands do foul prematurely. iridiums and platinum do work well, but if the motor isnt runnin on a very tidy tune, or has a habit of fouling plugs dont waste ya money, and get a set of ngk's to suit ur application. The reason why i say this is baically value for money, if ur car is gonna foul a set of ngk's chance are itll foul ur $60 set of platinums, though if u are findin u are have ignition issues (not burnin right) then id try a set of good plugs

    Im the same, I foul all plugs fairly quickly, check them most services and change them fairly frequently.

    I've tried more expensive NGK's, they foul just as quick so I dont waste my time. Costs me somewhere around $5 a plug, cant really remember. But yeh, beats paying $20 or more a spark plug.
