bosch platinum's rule I always use them and wish they had them for my 01 gt. They are 99.9 % pure platinum not just platinum tipped like some autolites and burn hot enough to be self cleaning. for nos you should actually get a special (colder) plug depending on the shot.

I talked to NOS and they said that i dont even need to go to a colder sparkplug because im not going to be running that much of a shot.They said i could go a colder plug but it wouldnt matter.But then other people are telling me to run a colder plug.

ok first of all the people at kragen are pretty much stupid.. go get your self some NGK TR-6 plugs those are recommended for nos application cuz of the colder heat range.Second the reason for the closer gap is you need a hotter spark for the nos. you will be missing out on ALOT of power with the stock gap..the car will even run a little better with closer gap N/A..if you want to know more i can give you more info anout it all..just email me mipaz@pacbell.net

I've heard bad stuff about using platinum plugs with power adders. Just return them and get some Autolite 23's and gap them in the low 30's.
