Default What spark plugs for Screamin Demon?

I have an awesome looking Screamin Demon and set of LiveWires sitting on my desk, waiting to be installed. (Arrived in 2 days!!!)

I'm wondering which sparkplugs are best to use with my 2006 V6?
NGK G-Powers?
Bosch Plat?
Autolite Plat?
???

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Ive been considering this upgrade for a long time. But at the moment im more concerned about my brakes and tires, both of which need to be replaced. But let us know if you notice a difference, im sure many people here would like to know.

I got the best bosch plug that was still a single ground, i dont remember what it was called, but you need to gap the plugs, there is almost no point to the new coil if you dont gap the plugs, it is very easy to do, it only took me a couple minutes to gap mine

Agreed you want a standard type plug so that you can open the gap to take advantage of the hotter coil.

I'm partial to the NGK's myself. I run TR6's with my X-Charger, and they've been very reliable. (N/A cars would use TR5-1's if I recall)

i ran the autolites gapped, bosch fusions, then the motorcraft plugs gapped. the fusions won my vote.

I went looking for the regular single post spark plug, my choices where Bosch Platinum or NGK G-Power. They were both $3/ea, so I picked up the NGK's. I wanted the original Autolite's but they didn't have any.

I like the Bosch Fusion, but I read somewhere that I needed to have the old-style single post spark plugs in order to get the best spark.

If the Fusions or the NGK ix's work as well with the Screamin' Demon, they I might swap out my NGK's for them.

I used double platinum plugs . The spark is more intense so you need a good plug. The choice of the brand is up to you.

My only concern with these NGK G-Power's is that the center electrode is VERY tiny. Seems like with a high spark like the Screamin Demon is going to create, that this plug isn't going to last very long.

NGK V-powers: inepensive, well made, and reliable

I had some Bosch Plat+ that I put in, but I think I want to put in double platinums instead. Didn't realize how difficult it was to come by spark plugs, if you aren't buying Fusions.
