you wont notice a power gain by switching to aftermarket plugs and wires. you may think you do if you are replacing worn ones, but you will get the same feeling using stock OEM plugs and wires, they are MORE than adequate.

Bosch plugs have done nothing but give me grief in 4.0 SOHC engines, i pulled them out of the explorer and threw them in the woods. only motorcraft, or autolite, for me.

todays ignition systems do not require improvements on a naturally aspirated engine

^^ agreed. You can gain back some lost HP from old worn out components. Leaving plugs on 100,000+ miles and you will have gaps that have widened to the point you will lose some sparks and the gas will leave the cylinder and burn up in the cats. If you check your mileage regularly, this will tell you if you recovered some of the loss back. Better mpg = more HP with ignition components.

dealerships will overcharge, graniteguy has great prices on motorcraft plugs, and his wires are pretty well priced as well

They are excellent for forced induction applications, but are not cost effective for N/A motors... The electrodes will bend when you break a piston... HAHA
