RE: spark plugs
Copper plugs are better for most all forced induction cars. Find you right temp and just get a good set of NGK's.


I have never heard of a performance shop suggesting platinums, let alone iridiums. More money than worth. They will last longer than the coppers, yes, but the price offset is enough to buy a couple at a time and run better all-around.

RE: spark plugs
Copper plugs do make a better spark spark but their electrode is very larger meaning the spark will take longer to jump the gap.

With the 0.7mm iridium plugs and the MSD DIS-4 you get 7-10 sparks in the same amount of time for a copper plug to make one. thats why i run Iridium and MSD

RE: spark plugs
Not sure why they provide iridium plugs.

While they last longer, they do not provide better spark. In addition, the extremely small size of the electrode results in poor heat transfer.
