First and foremost, are you running a turbo? General consensus as far as I know is that Platinum/Iridium is ideal for NA applications, but you'll get the best performance out of conventional copper plugs (although not necessarily the same life) if you've got turbo.

Bump for copper. They're so easy to change out so it's no biggie.

NGK Coppers are awesome, they're the shit.

Forget about Bosch Plats they're worthless and have been known to degrade performance.

Actually, most parts places will not sell NGK Coppers. I've yet to find one in my town that does. I had to order mine from 935motorsports.com.

Never heard of Advanced Auto in NM.

I was thinking of Autozone, Pep Boys, Checker, etc.
