I'll soon be getting new plugs as my Splitfires have 35,000 miles on
them, and I can tell performance wise they're getting old even though
they still look good. So, are ya'll saying that I can by some $.79 plugs
and have just as good a plug as a truck plug or a Bosch Platinum. My dad
is running the regular Platinum's in his '97 RAM 318 now and has had no
problem, but no real improvement on anything but startup. (Startup
should be better though as he put 45,000 on the Champions from the
factory.
