imo if its stock.... run copper.

all the extra money you throw at wires and plugs is going to be a waste.

agreed on the bosch wires and champion copper plugs for a bone stock engine.

next go around im going to upgrade my wires though as i have some upgrades on the engine.

the bosch platinum plugs are junk in the 4.0.

Not only on a 4.0.

They caused problems on a Honda Civic and an Alfa Romeo for me.
