Which Spark Plugs Are Good On the VG's?

Hey Wanted To Put Nice Plugs On My Max It Has Bosch 7553 right now. Which would be good performace ones. I have Bosch Ultra Platium wires on it right now. Any suggestions? Also what other tune ups can be done besides the ones done like oil, air, things like that?

THANKS

no more bosch... bosch tends to not work well on our cars. go with NGK v-power plugs. can't do much better than those.

5?? stock should be BKR6E-11. BKR5E-11 would be a one step hotter plug.

riiiight. Or it could be that your plugs needed changing, and the new ones simply feel better because the old ones were worn out. Considering 6 densos are $78 and 6 NGK V-power coppers are $8, I'll take the extra $70 and save it towards a real power-making mod myself.

I'd just like to note that this morning I finally stopped procrastinating and installed my NGK V-Power coppers. Imagine my amusement when I pulled 6 Bosch Platinums out of my engine.

I doubt the previous owner could've picked a worse plug lol

Runs like a champ. Still need to order me NGK wires though..
