      They say they'll last alot longer, and are supposed to be fine for nitrous use....BUT....I like to check my plug after every race and most of the time replace them for grins. It's alot less expensive when you change plugs at least every 2 or 3 months at $199 a peice than $6.99. But again, I have had numerous customers tell me they love their iridium plugs, so I guess it's alot about your budget and how often you like to replace your plugs.

        They dyno'd a supercharged mustang at Holeshot, the performance shop I go to, with autolight, and then with Iridium and the difference was 1 hp.. I say they aint worth it..

          Where r u getting them?

          Should be a better psark for more complete combustion.

          I have yet to try them but it can only be a good upgrade

                Nitrous eats plugs, platinum, iridium, etc. it doesn't care it just destroys, you would be better off buying regular NGK copper plugs at 1.79 a piece, you're going to be changing them a lot anyway. No sense in spending forty bucks every month instead of ten bucks every month

                  Good point not going to try the Iridium Spark Plugs this time but let you know if I ever do, unless someone else tries them and posts first
                  Good luck to all
