There are the facts; draw your own conclusions.
I've used Champion Double Platinum plugs in my L27 before. Ran those for about 80k miles with absolutely no problems and perfect performance. Those weren't Bosch plugs though.

With the Northstars, I wouldn't have it any other way. The rear plugs on the GXP are a bit involved to get to from what I've heard.

A 3800 will not like them. I've tried it, many people have tried it, and its a bad idea. Save yourself the work and trip to the store and just get a good set of ACDelco, Champion, or Autolite plugs.

Don't know where you came up with that. GM specifies double platinum clads for almost all N* applications.

They are set a .50 and Not to be regapped.

And as far as Denso being a AC vendor, I highly doubt GM would use Jap plugs. And certainly not admit to it. I hear the gamut of guesses as to who make what AC Delco Plug. And not once have I seen a credible source. AC isn't talking.
