Factory plugs.No need to try anything else for any type of gains.They are what came in it so why change?

12680072 GM number

So the Iridiums are the best today for the LS2, and they get anti-seize on the threads upon installing them, Right ?

Not sure about the antiseize on the GM plugs but I know NGK plugs come coated and the antiseize is not recommended.May want to check but I think most people use a small amount.I didn't because I didn't want to skew the torque wrench readings.

No issues...use the OEM plugs.

Best?
Copper flows electricity better than Platinum, Iridium etc, yet copper requires frequent changing.
FWIW?
OEM or not, index the plugs to attain best.

Have fun.

. Sure. Now you may have confused some people who don’t know what that means or how to do that. Indexing plugs not necessary for street use.

So the 41-162, iridium plug is the correct plug and is updated for my LS2 ? Everywhere I look it keeps stating the 41-162 is not for the 2007 LS2 ? Help !
I see in my manual to use a little Anti-seize on the plugs threads.

Many plugs today have a coating on the threads that supposedly negates the need for antiseize. I personally always put antiseize on spark plug threads. Use it very sparingly - a little goes a long way - and make sure you don't get any below the threads.

You complain about rough idle, now it makes sense: you may have ended up with knock-off AcDelco plugs.

He said he was experiencing a rough idle BEFORE he asked about plugs,but I agree on the fake plugs.Seems they are showing up more and more.If the price seems too good there is probably a reason.
