Bosch or AC Delco?
Its a silly question I know, but I've always worked on GM vehicles and I've always used AC Delco for any replacement part. From injectors to spark plugs AC Delco was all that I've used.

Maybe, I'm just wondering what brand of parts work best with our vehicle.
Sounds ridiculous I know but believe me, if you threw Bosch plugs in a GM Block you've basically doomed your engine to ever run right. Toss in some AC Delcos and you're good to go.
Go with the stock plugs only use Champion plugs and it really just depends on what parts you are wanting to replace. If it is electrical parts go with mopar, suspension items MOOG is the only way to go and everything else it just depends.
all opinions.....autolite 3923 plugs are said to have a 4hp gain on the dyno on a stock motor many here run autolite over the champions.... as far as wires good 7-8 mm silicon wires wont burn like the old factory mopar ones and should last longer... as far as suspension there's lots of kits that improve the front end design over stock. Our dodges seem to have weaknesses in both steering design and the plenum....Hughes makes aftermarket kits that will be a big improvement over stock for that....So there really isnt one brand for everything (unless its a vw then Bosch is almost always the way to go)

Now, now, that's not always the case. People whose plenum gasket is on its way out, many times will find that the use of Autolite 3923 plug which is a colder heat range over stock, to be better. Some magnums really love the stock champions, but some really like the Autolites. Personally, I would try the 3923s first just for the simple fact that you can get all 8 plugs for under $10.00.
