im just curious to see if anyone running like the Bosch Platinum +2 or +4 actually felt a difference. Other than that i would assume NGK plugs would also work. Well for most things i already know the 2 or 4 pronged plugs dont get 4 sparks, but it just provides the spark more options to spark to. But i just want first hand experience of others using different plugs, before i purchased a new set of plugs....so bring on the plug info.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) o and do these plugs actually increase gas mileage?

My favorite is when you go to the counter and ask for a Bosch W7BC spark plug and they type stuff in the computer for 5 minutes and say "what year is your car?"  :rolleyes:

Haha, reminds me of when I went to the GM dealer to order some parts for my LT1 that's going into the 914. The first thing they asked was "what's the vin?". Like I'm going to remember that... I don't even have the car anymore. The first guy was sure the part could not be looked up without the vin. The second guy knew how to look them up by year and model though and ordered them. I swear people are turning into robots.

Oh, and to keep this on topic, I'm running AC Delco 41-906 plugs.. 8 of them.. Double platinum and they last 100k miles according to the factory manual. The old ones looked in ok shape, and the firebird had 115k miles.. probably the originals.
