Spark plugs

[ChevyTrucks_95]

Has anybody upgraded the spark plugs. I'm thinking about upgrading my wires and was curious about the plugs too?

leave them alone. Unless you have over 100K... you are wasting money. Most agree OEM is best when talking about plugs and wires...

And what problem are you trying to fix with this "upgrade"?

[ChevyTrucks_95]

I'm planning on getting new long tube headers and found the subject on new Taylor spark wires for better clearance and I was just curious on if I should get new plugs too. Nothing wrong with them. I was just curious.

Stock plugs are fine unless you are having to change the heat rage, not normally something you do unless you are on forced induction. The stock plug wires are decent, the Taylors and MSD will have less resistance per foot which means more spark energy will make it to the plug. Will you notice anything, I doubt it.

I put a set of Taylors on mine,really smoothed out the idle night and day difference! All together it just runs better and I picked up a slight very slight mpg increase.

Can you link me to the wires you got?

Just an FYI, stock wire do fit fine with Headers, I have no issues with rubbing or touching.

 

With that said, I would like to change the plugs and wires at some point, so I am curious also as to what others are running for plugs, or just get OE again.

I got them in Summit racing.com best 60 buck I've spent. https://m.summitracing.com/parts/tay-79203

[joshc64311]

The ohms resistance my stock wires was 2000 +or- 100 across all 8, on the Taylors wires I got 250 ohm +or- 10 on all 8.

Thank you for the link and info.

 

With headers, I would like to put some boots on the wires just as a precaution. While I do that, I might as well add new wires. While I do boots and wires, wonder if I should do plugs too.

 

This list is getting longer every second.

I would not go 100K miles with same plugs at all! These GDI engines EAT,FOUL and CRAP out so called 100K plugs in 60K. Do yourself a favor and @60K toss em! THEY DO NOT LAST 100K

Yup, certainly worth a good inspection of the plugs come say... 60,000 miles.

[cbrsilv15]

It's called being proactive. I don't wait until my brakes are metal on metal before I replace.

 

While it might not add any performance, it wouldn't hurt to do.

THANK YOU. Finally someone who gets it.
