I ran the single shroud Bosch plats.. I loved mine.
More isnt always better.
But Bosch does make one of if not the best spark plugs IMO.

open your ears, bro, they are a waste of money.
here's what i mean.... electricity follows the path of least resistance, which will be only ONE of those 4 conductors. that one conductor will be the closest to the center electrode in the plug. the other 3 side conductors will just be in the way of the spark.

I'm running them because I didn't have $11 a plug for NGK's. They are a good plug, no need to gap them, and they are only $6 a piece. You will have 10 guys with 10 opinions. Best you can do is try them for yourself or don't. A lot more professionals are using bosch +4's over NGK's. just my .02

If money is an issue then I suggest the AC Delco Rapidfires.They work great and I have used them on my 2 most recent cars.With or without nitrous they work great.Good luck.

Hey man,
I have Bosch +4 Plat.'s in mine.
I like them a lot, I've had zero problem w/them. They've been in for about a year and I haven't had and pre-detonation, overheating, or any problems at all.
The major problem w/ them is the price. They ain't cheap....
As for power gains, I really couldn't tell a power gain, but I did notice it idling quite a bit smoother.
I'd go for it, but there are plugs out there that are cheaper that would probably have the same effect.
Just my $.02

My LT1 was different from nikkev. The AC's in the car when I got it were all black.. The bosch plats were like new every time I took them out to redo my heads..
My Nissan minitrucks1 had them. A 1992 and a 1994. Both ran many miles without plug changes and they too were like new. The 1994 truck went 78K miles in one year while I was a courier and it never had any engine issues.
To me, the bosch plats have proven themselves and I will continue to use them. If for some freaky reason, I am told by the manufacturer not to use platinum plugs, I would still use Bosch Supers.
