with the correct gap, i think they would work. that and im out of a job, so buying some right now is kinda iffy.. im lucky to have gotten a new head.

oh damn, i must have purely forgot how cheep they were. lol, new plug time. :)

but the only reason i was asking, is because i have a brand new set for an LS that i bought for my old hatch, i put them in and turned out i dident need new plugs so i pulled em. never even drove on them.

#160630 well the only diff in the spark plugs is the spark. has nothing to do with your fuel economy or anything. just go to a local auto parts store and they will look it up for you and sell you what you need.

#160662 no difference at all? been browsing he NGK website, it says there that these type of spark plugs gives you better performance and fuel efficiency aside from the features and description of materials being used for their spark plugs.:) thanks again!

#160681 yes the spark is bigger therfor burning the fuel in the cylinder much better. trust me you will not really notice. unles your running a better ignition system.

#160685 hhhmmm, but would like to try it though:D im still looking for a nice set of spark plugs here, it's kinda hard because autoshops here either doesn't carry the brand or they just ran out of stocks.

thank again!:D
