what are the best plugs to use in the LA1?

If you're stock just buy ac delco... I had bosch plugs for 8 months until my car starting getting the worst misfires plus a check engine light...i took it to my mechanic and he told me he wasnt going to look into the misfiring until i got those bosch plugs out...went ahead and bought ac delcos and put them in, started her up...The engine sounded almost like new and no popping out the exhaust.

its got a cai and exhaust,

Your fine..i have an intake and a tune...if you're running something serious like nitrous or high boost then you're gonna different plugs...you're fine with going with ac delcos

[jawa]

are the delco rapid fire any good

I know a couple guys on here have/had them... I dont recall hearing about anyone having issues with them. Iridium plugs are the best thing to get. They're more expensive than platnums but they last longer.

Hey was up with all the bosh plugs animosity on gm cars, I see it every where. I had bosh plugs on the 2.4 for like for two years and never had any kind of problems with them, shit it even felt more responsive than with the acdelco a just bought. But I’m not going to say much more as I know, ill probably raise hell upon myself for saying I like my bosh plugs better than acdelco

Well i dont know about the 2.4..maybe they're more forgiving, but the 3400 will start running like shit with them...anyone who says otherwise must have a magic pair of bosch plugs..

Back in April 2010 when I searched bosch plugs on here I only read bad things, but being a noob I bought them anyways because they were cheaper than AC Delcos...They ran fine and I was happy.. One day in December my car started misfiring..I didnt even bother fixing it until May because I was broke..so I basically paid for it down the road...Lesson learned...

wait I think I had them for more than the previews stated time, if I’m not mistaken I put them in late 07 or early 08 and I just swap them out on June July of 2011 and like i said my magic bosh plugs never gave me problems.

Yeah and like I said, we're talking about the 3400. Whole different engine here.

it's placebo effect, don't belive everything the box tells you! show me proof that bosch plugs are better and i'll belive it :P

Ngk all day

AC Delco in the V6. Seven bucks a plug is cheap. At the dealership plugs here are eighteen bucks a piece!

[zzyzzx]

I've read many times here to just use the stock plugs. On my Escort, I use Autolites or Champion double platinums and they work great, but the Bosch ones don't (according to my sources on the internet).

[G.I.Ceo]

I only run NGK Iridiums and have for years now. Best plugs I have ever used.

ACDelco 41-940

its got a cai and exhaust,

In that case, you should use ACDelco41-940

are the delco rapid fire any good

No, had them, caused problems. Not as many as other plugs, but still.

But if you still want them they are ACDelco 14
