OK so I'm lookin for a few opinions. Obviously I have a 2.0 LSJ and I'm getting a random P0300 code so I figure it's time to change the plugs (I'm at about 50K miles). I have a CAI and an exhaust for right now. In about a year I plan on going to a 2.7 pulley, 60# injectors, opt B, upgraded H/E, header and DP, and probably meth. I realize the plugs will be different for what I'm running now and what I'll be running in a year or so and I dunno why I even put all that in there LOL. Anyway, I live in Pittsburgh PA and I want something that will give good performance while being reliable in all temperature ranges. Thanks in advance for your input...

I'm sure any parts store will have them in stock. Just ask them what stock replacements they have.

Tazmanian_Dvl

Thanks but I'm not lookin for Pep Boys special spark plugs. I want something decent...

ShortStack

Seroiusly.. the stock plugs are techinically already one heat range colder.

They are NGK as well...

I use Autolite part # 3922... 1.78 a plug.

Tazmanian_Dvl

Yea I'm not really lookin for some cheap ass Autolite plugs.

Actually, those Autolite is the equivalent of the NGK BKR7E's.

Next, walk into your PepBoy's and ask them for a stock equivalent NGK spark plug.

Tazmanian_Dvl

Yea as I said before I'm not looking for a Pep Boys special (should read I DON'T LIKE AUTOLITE PLUGS BECAUSE THEY ARE GARBAGE AND I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEM IN THE PAST). They carry the NGK's but they are special order and if I'm gonna order plugs I'd rather get them from a supporting vendor since I'm not a fan of Pep Boys.

Advanced Auto or Autozone are both much better than Pep Boys. Even a Napa.

Tazmanian_Dvl

I'm not looking for el cheapo plugs I don't care who they come from NAPA, Advance, Auto Zone, Pep Boys, whoever it doesn't matter a cheap $2 plug is just that a cheap plug. I'm not worried about the cost. I"m not a high school kid I can afford $10 a plug if it's a quality piece. catch my drift?

**** it he wants high price then pulsars
http://www.pulstar.com/
just because its cheap dont mean its
shitty.

Tazmanian_Dvl

No you were saying to get Autolite plugs. I also said if they have to be ordered I want to get them from a supporting vendor. Advance and PepBoys both have to order them...

No I don't want Autolite pieces of **** which is what they keep trying to push! I've used them in the past and I've had nothing but problems. I'm fine with the NGK plugs but everyone local has to order them and is I need to order them I would prefer to use a supporting vendor than Theft Boys or some place like that. Catch my drift?

Wow I love people that think the more you pay for a plug the better they are omg look at these quadruple platinum plugs there the best and only 16.99 a plug! NGK 4644 is the new part number for one step cooler IDK on stock heat range though. A spark plug is a spark plug its not going to add horsies

BlueSSupercharged

What about the E3 diamond fire plugs? Has anyone tried them yet?

Zach06CobaltSC

Blue - Stay away from horrible plugs like that mate. Stick with what works, ngk bkr7e's ftw.

ShortStack

Go ahead and buy the pulstar or the zex plugs... if you search youll pull up some threads about how good they are (i mean... about how they blew out their spark threading and had a piece fall down into the cyl and scratch some ****... but thats okay)

The guys running over 400 hp are running the NGK plugs. I run the autolites, and have been for a while now... Im also over 300 hp and using them and are doing wonderfully.

The NGK are the best plugs. OTTperformance or ZZP sell the ones you need.

Tazmanian_Dvl

^^^Thanks! I personally have had bad luck with Autolite plugs in the past so I'm staying away from them...

BlueSSupercharged

Yeah I was just wondering about them. Seen they were new and saw them on horsepower tv and they tested them and they claim they made 5 more hp. I run the ngks now.

D4u2s0t

local auto parts store should have them, if not when i get my wires as well i go to sparkplugs.com very cheap and very fast shippint.

spark plugs are not expensive at all. all 4 of them should be a little under 10 dollars, or a little more with shipping.

he's basically stock. no need for 1 range colder plugs.

nhcobalt

stock heat range plugs in ngks are bkr6e's. i just bought a set of iridiums so we will see how well the do. also stock plugs are a double platinum tip. so i dont see why people but regular copper resistor plugs in.

red06SC

Yeah, I had a pretty serious issue with Autolites in my DSM..

I think the NGK part you're looking for is 6962 or something like that, BKR6E if you're a stock heat range.

Tazmanian_Dvl

Advance's website says $10 each which I'm willing to pay if the plugs are good plugs. I don't like Autolite or Champion. ACDelco plugs are OK but not great. I just want something that will perform well and that I'm not gonna have issues with...

Thanks again for helping!

Thanks!
