Anyone running Iridium spark plugs on a supercharged motor?

[KenneBell]

I currently have standard NGK ur5 plugs gapped to .038 on my S/C motor and rumor has it that blown motors like iridium plugs but not platinum. Anyone have iridium plugs in their blown motor? Thanks

Stick to the standard NGK's, Iridiums and Platinums are a waste of money when it comes to forced induction.

Iridiums & Platinums are intended to last as long as possible under normal conditions, they don't like the torment that boost brings.

Iridiums work very well w/ boost. Platinums on the other hand dont.

indeed

I would highly disagree with that comment. I have NGK TR7IX iridiums in my car right now (2 ranges colder than stock), and also tried a set of Autolites from Napa that were only a single range colder.

I used both while tuning my car (meaning I had to pull and clean the plugs a LOT) and had no ignition system other than stock. The Iridiums were not only harder to foul than the autolites in super rich conditions, but under boost they took more Boost/RPM's before the spark blew out.

The NGK Iridiums IMO are worth every penny.
