Default Spark Plugs

what would be the benefits of replacing the spark plugs on my car?
What company do you guys think make the best plugs?
Is there any difference in models or anything like that, like if one company makes several different spark plugs for my car, what would be the difference?

if your spark plugs are old and worn out then new ones would make it more efficient. adding newer platnum or iridium plugs will not make a noticable difference. just get the right plug for your car

Is there any point in just upgrading to new plugs? Even if you do not have many miles on the current ones, just to upgrade to aftermarket plugs to get the stock ones off?

From what I have read about plugs, it is suggested to switch to lower temp plugs if they have installed a supercharger or a nitrous oxide system.

Getting platinum-tipped plugs to replace OEM plugs will not give you more power.

spark plugs all work about hte same. they dont add power. i mean how would they when all theyre doing is igniting the compressed air/feul mixture?
