very good plugs but your still wasting your money
it doesnt hurt to use the expensive but the ac delcos for example i think are half the cost and work just as good as the expensive ones
never buy the expensive spark plugs, never buy a cold air intakes, never run superunleaded if the manual says regular
all of the above increase performace by exacly 0% and are marketed to increase HP but do nothing but increase the manufacterers profits

Clear the code and run it for a while. P0300 is a miss fire, but dosent indicate which cylinder. I'll bet it dosent re-appear.

I think it was spark plug #1 because I took it out to check the gap and it broke. So I replaced it now no lights are on and no hesitation.
I'll report back

Take a look at this link and you will see that cold air intakes do in fact add HP and torque. 9 HP and 8 TQ isn`t much but it`s certainly not 0%

Another uninformed member blowing smoke out his ass. If people read as much as the shit they type they might learn something and not sound so ignorant.

Lol.
Never get more than bare minimum.


I hope that guy doesn't use the same philosophy on his wife and kids.

i guess he's never watched comparison videos doing real world dyno tests against stock and after market products and see what you really get out of them

I just went to the parts store today and picked up a new set of AC Delco plugs and wires based off what I've read here. I was thinking of getting aftermarket plugs but everyone recommends factory.

Can't go wrong with factory. The only way aftermarket ignition components can help you is if your factory parts are insufficient and not doing the job. Happens with forced induction, high compression, or extreme temperatures. Otherwise they're expensive, colorful parts for your engine bay.
