Default Best spark plugs for stock LS1

I tried "search", but didn't find anything recommending one brand of plug over another. Looking for a recommendation on the best spark plug. For the record: stock 2000 LS1 (K&N filter and Corsa exhaust are the only mods).

I prefer copper plugs and use the NGK's, previously the TR 55's. They may need to be changed a little more often, but they are a good reliable plug.

100% On the mark!! You will NOT find any performance or benefit over the OEM Stock iridium plugs. If you had major mods, the plugs Vettenuts runs show a little benefit.

You can NOT go wrong with STOCK Plugs and the GM Performance Red Wires.

We offer the best deal on them

The iridiums and platinums are more expensive but last longer, use cooler heat ranges for higher compression and hp applications, FI and n2o
