ACDelco Iridiums and GM Performance wires. Red ones are faster.

The NGK TR55 plugs work just as well, but you need to change them every 30k miles

When I was saying stock (or near stock) I meant no forced induction such as a turbo set-up or supercharger

OK? They were ship in USA. The plugs I pictured were 41-110 12621258. The plugs you mentioned were 41-110. 12680072 (which I noticed has a “Z” on the tip). So is one plug platinum, the other iridium? I have both plugs, which is which? Which should I use? Thanx

Iridium is better than platinum. Iridium is good for 100K miles

Interesting how the #2 plug (?) is darker. Perhaps a slightly leaky injector in that cylinder?

here’s the old line-up. I think these were original set ( inspection dots still on) can it be known by plug # ? Haven’t seen those # thrown around for replacements.
