    Question Spark plugs

    Getting ready to do a tune up. I see that our plugs factory are iridium correct? So I was wondering if I should stick with iridium or could I go with platinum? Also if I stick with iriduim what plug does everyone recommend? I only ask about the platinums, because I ran the Bosch platinums in my 90 5.7 and had pretty good luck.
    Thanks in advance.

    Different plugs won't do a thing.

    Looks like it will be NGK or AC Delco then. I gotta do some price checking to see who has the better deal. The 100,000 mile tune up is coming up real soon. The 1st complete tune up that is.
