From my experience in working in an auto parts store i would have to say a really good plug to use would be Denso plugs i am guessing they are really good cause the price of them was outrageous at 22.99/each

Price doesn't always equal good. Why spend $23 a plug when everyone is doing fine with a $1.50 plug?

Thanks for this thread, I have an s/c and plan on a few mods... was wondering about plugs... Now i know... how about thermostat? do you have to change that as well??

I just plan on a CAI, and a SLP exhaust for now... but later on, do plan on headers (SLP) and whatever mods it takes to run a 3.5 or 3.4 pulley... and will include a recalibrated PCM, but again, that's in the future...

You don't HAVE to change your t-stat, but running a cooler one will assist with KR at operating temperature. Personally, I'm running a 180* t-stat.

Im running the TR-6 plugs from NGK. found them to be the best for me. for some reason, my car was misfiring pretty bad with the autolites. I used to run 22* timing, but i backed it off to 18 now and run a smaller pulley. runs great. only get about 2-4 KR when i first get on it, then drops to zero.

Well, not only E3 plugs, but what about Pulsar plugs? They claim a lot of outragious increases as well, including MPG, HP and so on... I had posted the question on a previous thread, and it was said that there is NO way a spark plug can increase HP, but what can it do for MPG?
