Default Putting NGK (foriegn) plugs in my Canyon?

Im not sure how I feel about putting NGK plugs in my GM. My family has always been a firm believer in putting in the regular ACDelco and sticking with tradition. However, Im the little car rebel. Im looking for something a little more performance and I know alot of car guys swear by NGK plugs. Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe NGK Laser Irridiums for better MPG and maybe a lil more HP.

All the colorados ive serviced at work have came stock with NGK's.Belive it or not but ALOT of Gm vehicles come from the factory with NGK's.If you run to the dealership for plugs the service plugs will be acdelco's.

How many miles are on your plugs now? They are 100,000 mile plugs, so if you haven't had a ton of miles on your truck, there is no need to change.

NGK makes the "AC Delco" plugs for these engines.

AC Delco 41-103 and NGK ILTR5E11 are the exact same part, except with different markings on them.
