3800'* don't run well on Bosch plugs. Stick with ACDELCO for factory plug replacements. You seriously cannot find a better plug. Everything else is merely a marketing gimmick or is more expensive.

I would also stick to ACDELCO plugs.

I've heard talk about Bosch plugs not working in our engines, but have never personally seen a problem. IMO I don't spend much on plugs, Autolite copper are under $10 for the set. As for the wires, again, no need to pay a lot, stock OEM wires are fine. No performance gain from plugs or wires.

I ran rapidfires for a while. Can't say I felt a single difference between those and cheap copper autolites.

Your new picks look perfect.

Just a note, these don't come with coil packs. Coil packs are very expensive by comparison.
