The only problem with the Iridium plugs is that older engines will foul them unlike Copper plugs which don't suffer from oiling as much.

I've tried everything on the market and I can safely say that the best plugs are always the stock ones.

I have ran the stock acdelco plugs in my 6.0 with both .055 and .040. I am currently running them at .040 when I changed the plugs and tried the .040 gap it seemed to run a little smoother but also kinda feels a little weaker, not sure if its just me or if I lost a little torque.
