Any advantage Rapid Fire plugs

Is there any advantage using AC Rapid Fire plugs as opposed to the regular stock AC Delco plugs. I remember a tv commercial claiming smoother idle/performance using Rapid Fire plugs...any thoughts?

Re: Any advantage Rapid Fire plugs

mmf. prolly some difference, dunno if its good or bad.. i think its best to use the stockers/proven winners... ive heard the 'bosch +4plats' that cost like 5-6 bucks a pop actually make your engine lose power... so...

whoi knows!

Want to hear something bad about them???

They don't last for the $$.
Get the regular NGK plugs which have been proven to last 1/2 the time, cost 1/3 less, and perform the same.

I stay away from ANY plug with more than one electrode 'arm'

They do last longer.
And yes, they are only orn 'armed' plugs.

But for the price, they don't last long enough.

Well do not beleive everything you hear on TV.
Good grief look at the pill add"s .
If the pill does not get you the side effects will.
