Haha, like everyone has said, Used NGK when I changed mine. Fine.
Just gotta make sure you put the leads on right and the spark plug is done up correctly.

I use NGK and wouldn't change off of them. I've had the Bosch plugs stuff me around but never a NGK plug. You must of just been unlucky.

Have used NGK plugs without dramas for over twenty five years, have had issues with champions but not the genuine made in the USA ones, BOSCH no issues but know fellow professionals who have. I AM a fan of DENSO plugs and they would be my top pick.

1- Denso
2- NGK
3- Bosch

currently running NGK's in 34G without any prob's and everytime i get in it i give it arseholes with just under 10:1 comp, headwork and a real fat delcowizzid tune, they come out after every meeting for a 'read' and go back in and i havent cracked a porcelain in years - probably will now though :rofl2:

mate I had bosch in my VS, and completely useless, backfiring everything on LPG.

As soon as i put NGK in there, she was sweet until I sold it ran perfectly... Same story with my VY. Was running on 5 cylinders on Holden plugs, and now I got NGKs in there and it is running perfectly... 15,000km on this set so far.

Would use NGK every time and will continue using NGK everytime
