exactly. Not sure why you need new plugs unless you a replacing a faulty ones. The oem ones we have are rated for high ass mileage.

Not sure if I do but it feels really slugish, more than before and I even got a cai! I give my car hell all the time and even though I run it on synthetic and at least 91 octane all the time I feel like the plugs would complement it? What you gentlemen think?

I've been running Pulstar Pulse Plugs for over 30k miles and they have been great...a bit costly...$25/plug...but they help with power and efficiency....but by far the popular plug of choice are the NGKs....just use the search and you'll find info on them

NGK Iridiums are really good, AC Delco makes an Iridium that is good.

Make sure you're not getting any steps colder or hotter though, for NA anyways.
