What's wrong with iridium plugs?

I drive hard on my car. Do they get really hot to cause random sparks?
Or it will be ok?

Or should I get copper plugs?

You'll be fine

Your NA will be just fine with stock plugs

i paid $6 each for my iridium.

if copper Autolite Copper Core Spark Plug 606 | eBay
is better i will exchange ($1.5 each)

and i do drive hard on it most of the times (friends teasing me with imports)

Danielle- Both of those look really nice, but definitely agree the first one is a little over priced. I'd say the second one without knowing anything else about them.. But definitely go test drive one You'll love it!

The plugs you got are just FINE, the plug not to get is platinum plugs.....So go knock out your tune up and then tell us about the better mileage your getting.

Edit, here is some help:


4) Spark Plugs - Change out those stock spark plugs with new ones to restore any lost power. Brands that most tend to go with are either Copper Core Autolites or NGK's. They range as follows in order from hottest to coldest plugs...remember...you want the hottest spark you can get away with...so running a super cold plug on a larger pulley to combat knock isn't the best plan...OEM replacement ACDelco's, AL606's, and AL605's are basically for stock cars or very small bolt-ons still running the stock S/C Pulley or modded N/A guys...you want to keep a hot spark. NGKTR55/AL104's for your 3.4" Setup, TR6's are a tad cooler...best used around the 3.25" pulley area, and AL103's...are for the extreme supercharged application...3.0" pulley or lower. Here is a picture to reference the firing order and the correct coil number if yours aren't numbered or you just need a quick reference picture: http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6.../plugwires.jpg

AC Delco Factory Replacements: Stock
Autolite 606: Stock
Autolite 605: 1 Heat Range Cooler
NGK TR55: 1 Heat Range Cooler
Autolite 104: 2 Heat Ranges Cooler
NGK TR6: 2 Heat Ranges Cooler
Autolite 103: 3 Heat Ranges Cooler

Tnx

I gotta think about it seriously. That 2nd low mile one is a good drive away, but sounds to have been a garage queen so imo would be safer? And at 50k miles, i would think if I kept up with good maintenance I would be ok. Its so pretty and clean looking and has had some work done already. I may call insurance Monday to see what i'd be looking at.


There is just something about the gxps that i cant ignore...

Boyfriend doesn't help either, he keeps egging me on to look at them. I think he secretly wants one himself, but doesn't wanna trash it driving it to work.

Flashed another tune to my car
