Go one range colder in the iridiums if you have a maggie. Just pulled mine to look after 7000 miles and they look great. |

I am having the shop that is installing my headers, as we speak, install the new iridiums and granatelli wires. My car has approx. 25,000 miles and hopefully I won't have to worry about changing any of this stuff again unitil 75,000 miles (which my car will probably never see).

I went Iridiums, because it was only 50 bucks, and if it saves me having to dig in there to swap plugs for another year or so, my knuckles say it's worth the dough.

I'm kinda doing the same thing. They will be adding headers tomorrow so I got some new plugs to go ahead and have them changed at the same time since my Odo is basically reading 30K. http://www.boschautoparts.com/Produc...s/IrFusion.htm
