Agree with the rest here......unless you have a seriously built motor....stock plugs are best.

HD Platinums work best in my 2000.

At 6500 miles, I got a miss on the stock plugs. I put in another set. I got the same results in about the same amount of miles. Then, I put in HD Platinums. I ran those 30k before swapping them out. I only swapped them because I had just put in new cams and a DFO and wanted to monitor my plug condition. That set of plugs now has 25k on it and are still running strong.

I must have had a bad run of HD plugs!

I had 2 quit firing in one year(different cylinders) and 1 new out of the box that was weak.

After a few hours troubleshooting the ignition and everything else,I pulled a pair of used Autolites out of my Jeep 304(same plug) and it ran fine!

That was a few years ago but I've been running Autolites since then with no issues.

When I tried the HD stock plugs in my 2005 RKC, I got excessive vibration in my floorboards.
Changing to HD Gold plugs (for whatever reason), immediately smoothed out my ride.
