I have used Autolight plugs in everything since my drag racing days they work first time every time and for what they cost you can replace them several times for what one set fancy gimick plugs cost.

The only reason I would run anything other than stock is if you are running high compression, and what I mean by high compression is so high you can not run pump gas anymore, with that high of compression it can blow the spark out of a standard plug.
Save your money ,and buy stock ones.
