NGK G Power vs Laser Platinum Plugs

Hey guys,

I'm about to change the plugs on my GXE, and noticed there is a difference in the Platinum NGK plugs both in price and attributes.

The G Power Platinum goes for $2.19, while the Laser Platinum sells for $12.69.

My question is, what is the difference between the two, and which one should I use on my GXE?

I was thinking the same thing when I saw them, and to think I would need 6 of those damn things.

As Darhaw put it, I'll just go with the regular platinum plugs and save myself $10, probably enough to go synthetic oil.

Imagine buying those $12 plugs for the new Hemi, that would be well over $200 after taxes.

damn!

Thanks a whole lot guys, I'll do as advised, save the $10 and get the regular NGK's.

I'll be doing a full tune up tomorrow, and heading to New York this weekend, so I'll have enough time to check out the difference in performance.

Thanks again.
