Your going to get varied responses on this topic. Some are going to tell you to use the OEM Champion plugs, some are going to recommend Autolites 3293, and the others and going to come up with off the wall stuff.
Personally I think that you are fairly open on your plug option, but I do say stay away from platinum plugs.
Personally, I run the 3293 plug in mine, and love them, but some people have made a comment about rough idle with the AL plugs.

Someone else will have to chime in on that...I don't run them. Although I have considered it. They are non-gapping plugs, which come preset for your vehicle, so you leave them be until they are shot...which I think is like a 5 yr/100K interval or something crazy like that.

That'll do it to you... How long had they been on there? I think mine are approaching about 20K.
