give me some info on the bosch's. I work at checker auto parts and we had a bosch rep in, and of course he made it seem like his brand of plugs were the only ones on the market, but they seem like a pretty decent plug. Anyways, what kind of experience have you guys had with them. Not to thread jack or anything, but i just want to know.

thank you,
trav

I personally had purchased a set of bosch platinums for an older truck I had, (90 GMC), and it ran better before I did the tune up with the bosch plugs. I had the same crappy luck with AC Rapidfire plugs once also. I work at a very large boat, pwc, and atv dealer, and have found that NGK is the only way to go for all engines. I work on the Sea Doo's, Yamaha atv's, Bombardier atv's, and Mercruiser engines, which are GM Vortec motors, and they all come factory with the NGK's. I work on a friend's truck, The Wood Hauler, quite regularly, and when I changed the plugs in his '02 silverado for the NX kit, the stock plugs in his truck said AC Delco on one side and NGK on the other, so I have my stock in NGK plugs and no other. Just my opinion though.
