Default 2002 Chevy Monte Carlo Spark Plug Question

I have a 02 chevy monte carlo LS 3.4 and was wondering if anybody in here has used a different type of spark plug inside their monte carlo. I purchased bosch IR 4 fusion spark plugs. I want to know if it will mess up my motor or anything else. If anyone has used this type of plug or any other type of plug inside 01-05 chevy monte carlo please give me some feedback. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Jimmy

My experience with BOSCH spark plugs is that they are JUNK! I've used them first hand in the 3100/3400/3800 engines (and know others that did the same). They either are crap out of box OR about 6 months later you begin having bad mis-fires and end up replacing them.
I try to stick with AC Delcos (I just recently used NGK's in my wife's Impala only to find the FACTORY installed AC Delco's also had NGK branding on them).

Personally, I would remove the BOSCH plugs you put in and go Delcos. For almost ALL uses of the car, Delco's will do the best for you.

Stock for ignition parts is always the best idea.
