What are hte best plugs out there for a Naturally Aspirated3800 engine?

I saw these things at Auto Zone by Bosch.. they had 4 of those tips on them. Are they very good? Do they make a better spark? Are the yreally restricting hte spark?

Couldn't really help you much, I've kinda been wondering the same thing for my 3.9l.

Anyone hear anything about these pulstar plugs? Pulstar.com, I saw an ad in a magazine for them, they say they're more advanced than normal spark plugs, burn better and quicker, improve power, burn cleaner, blah blah blah. Supposedly guaranteed to do so and won't harm any engine.
What do you think?

I'd just get regular old platinum delco stock plugs. Stock heat range. Should last 100k miles no problem.

Its all marketing hype- just get regular old stock plugs. If having 2+ electrods was so much more efficient and made more power with better gas mileage, GM would've done it from the factory.

Stock

Follow the plug wires, pull them off (one at a time), use a spark plug socket to remove the old plug- put the new one in, put the wire back on, and move to the next one.
