need advice on sparkplugs
I'm going to change the plugs in my 97 vette and wasn't sure what brand to use. The car has 51k on it so i thought they might need changed. Thanks

Most people on here will say to go with the NGK Iridium or TR-6. I personally like the Bosch +4. You really can not go wrong either way

I've got the Bosch +4s in my C-5, and I'm satisfied with them. Had them in my former truck, also.

I just put NGK plugs (non iridium) and MSD wires on my 97 with 60K miles...runs beautifully! Plus the red wires look very nice under the hood! This is a great combo that many here use!

Same here: NGK TR55s. I think I ordered them from Thunder Racing, a Forum vendor. I like 'em!

I run NGK tr55 and MSD wires as well.
Although the "Vettedoctors" swear by Autolite for some reason.
