Default Spark Plugs?

PLugs dont necessarily add any power, but will add efficiency to the Accent engione if it burns more fuel on the compression combustion stroke , so i was wondering who has had the best efficient performance increase with which spark plugs.

My first choice was to put in the Bosch +4 Platinum Plugs

Now im curious as to wether they will be the best for the job.

Any ideas people? I could really use some good advice here. If you need me to specify a range of cash, $1- $100. Nothing over that, and im pretty sure it wont be! the bosch plugs were only 5.99 each, which is great!

So lemmuh know thanks!

Check out www.car-videos.com and watch how foolish it was for a supra to race my favorite car a '69 chevy camaro, in the '69 camaro vs. Supra. Its funny:smoking:

i was using bosch platinum +4's and kore spark plug wires and it smoothed out everything nicely. i think i'll be running iridium plugs on the new engine though, from what i hear they are supposedly better, we will see i guess.

Iiridium plugs ARE the best. You see copper gives better performance then platinum plugs because copper conducts better but copper has a short life span, but their cheap. Platinum gives slightly less performance then copper but lasts MUCH longer. Then there are the iridium plugs. Iridium conducts as good if not better then copper and lasts for 100,000 miles. Thus why iridium plugs are better. I read this in one of those street tuner magazines. So there ya go

Nope not yet, I am going to swap in Iridium plugs when I have to replace my stocks ones (my car is new), but I saw them for sale at autozone so I know you can get them there, not sure what company makes them, they should smooth the ride better then plat and copper plugs.
