Spark Plugs

soccerboy08 · November 27th, 2007, 12:20 PM

I was told by a buddy of mine that if i got the Bosch Platinium Spark plugs that it would increase the horse power and the acceleration. I have never heard of that before. Do you guys think i should or not....

Thanks

i have been told that getting the platinum plugs and those high performance plugs can damage your pistons cause they get to hot and burn to hot... getting the normal copper plugs that are meant for you car will work just find

soccerboy08 · November 27th, 2007, 12:30 PM

ok... i have never heard that before...

do you think i should try it...

Onemanzu · November 27th, 2007, 12:32 PM

soccerboy08 · November 27th, 2007, 12:35 PM

Onemanzu · November 27th, 2007, 12:36 PM

im just saying thats what i heard... if you give this a day and PM the link to itschristorres08 and ask him to pretty please look at the link he can give you a good answer... ...cause for some reason he really knows his spark plugs

soccerboy08 · November 27th, 2007, 02:29 PM

ok thanks

itschristorres8 · November 27th, 2007, 05:27 PM

do not use bosch plugs those are good for european cars
a platinum plug or double platinum can create so much heat and burn so hot for a car being raced that it'll burn the piston. and can even put a hole in it
i would use copper

soccerboy08 · November 27th, 2007, 05:30 PM

so should i even replace them at all...

cuz i want the performance but would it make a difference.

Onemanzu · November 27th, 2007, 09:36 PM

if you get a new coil and new performance wires getting new plugs would be in order other wise no don't get them

the thing is about spark plugs for our cars is that ford is specifically supoose the run double platinum plugs on the driver side and single plat on the passenger side. it all has to do with the waste spark system that our engines employ. never never ever buy iridium plugs there a waste of money and well im kinda a jew when it comes to that. haha but yes when you replace you plugs you will want to replace them all and make sure when you do it that you put double on 13 and 6 cylinders and 246 get single plat. and make sure you buy autolight or motorcraft. and the only time a spark plug will damage the engine is iff you get the ones that are to long because then you creat interference. buying a cheap spark plugs though will cause knocking if you not careful.

Find a 2x4
Find that buddy
Hit said buddy with the 2x4
ask him what plugs should you use
Repeat until he says anything but bosch

disclamer: not my fault if you cause death, or brain damage.
