Since I just picked up the Hoe, I'm going to replace the plugs. Wanted to know which brand everyone uses.

get a set of NGK TR55's they are CHEAP and work fuckin great... make sure you gap em to .040

dont buy into the hype of expensive pluggs, or platnums, or ones that come sith BJ's, none of that is necessary

NGK is my favorite plug also,
I ran those on my turbocharged cars and had no problems.
NGK for the WIN

Ended up getting some AC Delco plugs and Bosch wires. I've run the NGK Plugs in many of my various nitrous vehicles. Great plugs no doubt, but decided to stick with the Delco plugs. The Hoe's misfire is gone and shes running very smooth. It was much easier than doing the plugs on my Vette with long tubes. The NGK plugs that were in it were beyond toast and very lean. Should be knocking out the fuel filter later this week, then running some scans to see how everything is doing. Curious to know what my fuel trims and O2's are looking like. After the Fuel filter, the in dash DVD player and Super Nintendo will be next on the list. FTW!

I've gotten the inside scoop once and the Delcos are actually the better plug.

Where is this inside scoop from??? More LSx engine builders run and recommend NGK plugs then any other plug I have seen. And this is on up to 900-1000 horse motors.

I run NGK tr-55's, if you have heads/cam work then you wanna run at least the tr6's

I'm thinking about going with a set of the NGK TR55s but not sure what they go for.

So if nobody minds...what'd you pay for a set??

WTF??? thats CHEAPPPP

wish there was an o-reilly's here in PHX... checker and auto zone are both charging almost $4 per plugg for the TR-55. I mean thats not bad but I know they can be found cheaper

X2 Would like to know myself if you can use MSD Wires...

Has anyone tried E3 plugs? I know a couple weeks back the Horsepower show on Spike TV Showed a comparison test on the dyno and the E3 plugs had a better fuel brake and HP Numbers then the leading plugs...
