Default Performance Spark plugs and Wiring

Hey all,

I want to switch out the spark plugs and wiring in my Truck, which is the best brand to go with... will spark plugs really make that much of a difference?

thx

As far as what's best, everybody has their opinion. Myself, I lean toward NGK. Just make sure you change both plugs per cylinder. Why do you want to switch the plugs and wiring? Are you having a problem? The wire set ain't going to be cheap, if you can even find one other than at a dealership. Don't know if any aftermarket ones are available or not.

I would wait until you have to replace them. You aren't going to get that big of a gain from them. Like mazz said, it's not going to be cheap. When you do make that change I would go with NGK plugs.

Anybody else try Splitfires?
I tried them on a 3.9 Dakota once, didnt think it made any difference.

I've tried the Splitfarts twice, never again. Big waste of money.
