I hope you all know that you need a special gapper to gap platnium and iridium plugs,otherwise you just ruined your plugs and are not seeing the max performance from them.

You sure will be fine since they will be gapped at 0.080"+ in 15,000mile or so anyway.

NGK iridiums,you will gain nothing.A better iridium plug like Denso iridiums will hold there gap for longer(less erosion),withstand higher pressures/temps,and conduct the electricity much better.
