Do you mean NGK?

How about Magnecor?

I'd put my money on NGK.

Magnacore is overpriced and havent performed that well in individual un-biased tests against their cheaper compitition. Also, Bosch is note-worthy and at a nice price!

Yeah, thanks Auto....I keep doing that for some reason.:hmmm:
I looked at the Magnacore but found a lot of opinions and reports like croats view on them.
I decided to go with the NGK, I also picked up their new V-Power plugs and will install those when I get the wires on Thursday.
Thanks for the input.

The entire point of a "Good" ignition system is to deliver the most amount of spark to the combustion chamber.

This is all electronic properties, and remember that the lower the resistance....the better the spark from the coil to the plug (electricity travels faster with lower resistance). Look for the plug's and the wire's that have the lowest possible resistance attributes....you will have the best if you pair them together. Bosch plugs and wires (along with NGK) offer very low resistance, so look there (and at a cheaper price than most).


I could care less if my wire color matched my wire loom :??:
