Denso iridium plugs

Has anyone used Denso iridium plugs. I need to change my plugs and these were the only ones I can find local. What does everyone use just factory plugs?

Just go with a set of NGK 97506 plugs. I don't recommend Denso plugs.

Depends on your setup.

What kind of fuel are you running and how much boost?

I know boost will affect gapping, but need more schooling on the fuel part please. Thanks in advance.

Alcohol Fuels (E85 and Methanol) will typically need a slightly tighter gap and a colder plug.

That's right!

I personally run .019 and a "super special" ethanol mixture.

Details will come out soon!
