What kind of spark plugs are you guys riding? Iridium plugs are suppose to be better than platinum but are they twice as good? They are twice as expensive. What are your thoughts? Thanks a ton!

Like them. |

What are you doing that requires you to change plugs every other event? What's the motor? My motor? It's a 2.4 (4) running 13 to 1 with fuel injection at 60psi. The plugs I used to use (NGK DP8EA) with the Len Hoffman heads just didn't seem to last long. I'd get a stumble at low RPM's, which was a sure sign to change them. After I put in the Iridium plugs I haven't had any issues. In fact I think it was Len Hoffman who suggested the Iridium. |
