alot of 3800 guys run Autolite plugs.. Im a NGK guy myself. i read another thread about running platinums on a turbo/sc car heats the platinum plugs up and to run Iridium ones. I have always ran the plain jane copper on mine. but that plug is one that autolite calls for in the car so i wouldnt see a problem in it.

Take them back and get AL605's. Copper and iridium are the only plugs to use on these cars. Platinum will heat up and cause massive KR under boost.
