i was talking about the denso iridium plugs. iridium is 6 times harder and 8 times stronger than platinum. so these plugs probably arent cheap.

no, there not cheap at all! my set of 8 cost around $90 but were well worth it. they last a very long time and smoothed out the idle a pretty good bit. i'm runnin' the IT16's (one step colder than stock) cause of the whipple.

I read a dyno review on these in Super Chevy magazine. After switching from regular plugs to iridium, a 300hp 350 motor made 8hp on average increase. pretty good for some damn plugs, but I guess if you got an effecient motor, and good ignition, that will help on top.

Hey 454SuperSport I thought the IT16 Denso plugs are the stock heat range. I thought that IT20's or IT22's are colder than stock.

NGK is making iridiums now for stock heat range and they are much cheaper than the Densos I believe the part number is TR55IX
