i think the iridium's are a good plug. but for the money they are a little expensive. i have spent a lot of money chasing exotic plugs and have come around to the conclusion that the ngk tr55's are a good plug to run and the whole set is under 20.00.

I like my ngk tr55s as well. They seem to be a nice plug and won't break the bank.

I Was Told The 55's Are A Little Colder Than Stock And The 5's Are A Little Hotter. Im Running The 55's Right Now And They Are Doing Fine.

ACDelco Platinum's for me....I run a small gap with a Whipple...So far no probs..

I would have to say that there are a lot of over-priced plugs...Just because they're more doesn't mean they're gonna make your motor run smoother.. I would follow your service manual unless you have N20, Turbo or a blower...

i dont really see power gains with them as much as just a great plug for a lot less money. wires. they could make some improvment if yours are bad. you might fell a small difference .
