I need to change my spark plugs. I bought some Bosch Plattnums for $1.99. Will I notice any difference if I buy some better ones say Plattnum 2 $3.99 or Plattnum 4 at $5.99?

no you wont notice any difference unless you are going to increase the amount of spark they are going to get. IE a higher volt coil or whatever you have. But then you need heavier duty plug wires. but even then you wont notice a difference. Mosty all this does is give you a more efficient ignition.

My thoughts are that if you have a good basic ignition,(electronic) wich you do the $.99 autolite is as good as it gets in a stocker, I even run them in my stroker. If you had a points setup in the distributer, or were blown or turboe'd, that would be another mater.

The stock champions is what my jeeps get.
Even on my Delta88 with Holley Ignition I run stock Delco plugs.
I have tried the fancy kinds of plugs over the years and never was impressed or felt any difference with any of them.
Those multiple electrode plugs really make no sense to me, electricity is only going to jump to one of them at a time.....

With my 2 cents is that in a little 2.5L I feel the difference with Bosch 2 plat. but I also run a Jacobs ign. system w/computer. so if you are going to spend the $$ on the ign. sys. then you NEED the better plugs, if its a stock system then stick with stock plugs.

The multi-electrode spark plugs were designed for the newer, high rpm engines, to better ensure a spark at those high rpm's. The spark itself will do nothing as far as a cleaner or more efficient burn in the chamber. That is a combination of the head and piston design. Since we try to get most of our performance at a lower rpm(unless you are in the mud), i prefer to stick with the single electrode style of plug.

The Bbig thing about platnum plugs is they last a long time with out the gap widening. My van has the factory ones in still 77,000 miles. Platnum plugs is how they say the new vehicles can go 100,000 miles be fore needing a tune up. Thing is the plug wires burn out in about half that time.
