a spark plug giving 30 to the wheels... i wanna know where ur getting these because i want some
 No spark plug will even make a difference in your horsepower and even if there is a little difference u wont be able to notice it... But yes NGK is awesome for our cars... |

coppers are the best and cheapest..you will have to change them about every 20k miles but who cares? I run coppers in both my cars.

i wouldnt say copper are the best. maybe value wise. but i think DENSO Iridium plugs are great. or any Iridium plug.

there is no need for a iridium plug unless you are turbo..and turbo guys have found that the cheap copper ones have better performance. They just have to be changed more.

For a N/A car put you some of the cheapest coppers in but plan on changing them probably 20-30k miles.. If you dont want to do that then go Platinums. Iridium is a complete waste of money. Buy some new wires instead if you need them.

yeah i'm runnin two step colder plugs .030 gap. alright, iridium performs better they are more duarble and can be used for loads of miles. 10 bucks a plug. what does a good copper plug cost? 3 bucks about. If you replace them three times in the one time you replace the iridium your saving money. The conductivity of iridium is better. The spark will jump the gap easier so with the energy it would normaly take to jump the gap left over you get a larger spark. thats just what ive been reading though. so dont take my word for it. platinum on the other hand people seem to dislike. I ran the +4's in my ST and it was fine no trouble at all. what i liked about those plugs were u had four prongs. its not so you get four simultaneous sparks. its so if one fouls out you have a few back ups.
