Default Help, Spark Plug Question

This is most likely a dumb question but Do spark plugs actually make a noticable difference in power. I have heard that it increases you speed off the line but im really not to sure what to believe.

Can you help me out

Thanks

the only difference in power you can achieve from a good set of plugs you getting the most out of your engine. A bad set of plugs or dirty/old plugs can cause a drain on your engine's output.

NGK v-power plugs work the best for our engine's.

I have had no problems from the Bosch +4's running in my car. Found that the mid range acceleration picks up as well as a smoother idle.

I used to have the +4's and switched to the NGK power V's, and I noticed a difference. The +4's weren't bad, but I get a better idle and throttle response from the NGK's. Also, I have to change them more frequently, so they are "newer" more often; which always helps performance.

You should do okay with either. If you're seriosly into tuning, I'd go with the NGK's. If for no other reason, you can "read" them more often when you change them and tell how your engine is running.
