I did a search first and didn't find anything in specific.. I'm sure it's been beaten to death but here it goes again:
From my understanding, the Bosch platinum plugs disintegrate, or have disintegrated in other people's motors.
I understand that double-platinum is the way to go, but what about iridium?
what
What brand is best to use for the SC?
Motorcraft Double Platinums? NGK Iridium?
There are so many choices it's hard to decide on what to go with.
What plugs are you guys using, what do you recommend and why?
What method do you use to get at the plugs?
(those plugs were enough of a bastard on an NA splitport 3.8-- i can only imagine the horror of doing them on the SC)
If needed, here's bg on the car and my plans for it:
currently stock w/only magnaflow resonator, waiting to get an s-port blower installed and possibly overdrive the pulley. If I do this, the car will see high-flow cats, or cat deletes, both of which will be rigged to eliminate the 90* bend. I will probably never achieve 300hp, but I would be more than happy with 230-250. It is a manual trans 1990 SC, 193k, but runs good. The car also runs very cool, but I do get a lot of ping here in CA, but it's been a lot better since I did the hi-speed fan mod. Since it wasn't working, I also removed the AC condenser to further reduce temps-- no real mods have been done to the car.
Thanks,
