Anybody running the Denso Iridiums? I hear they're the best plug for nitrous and I figured they would be good for supercharged cars as well. Let me know. Thanks. I will also look into the NGK's. About how much are they?

Also do you guys have stock ignitions and what wires are you running? I have the Taylor Race wires 10.5 I think they are...huge I know that.

I'm using Denso Iridium. They are high quality plugs but expensive. Check out NGKs. For a supercharger application I would use one heat range cooler thank stock to make the engine less prone to detonation.

How do I know which heat range is cooler than stock? Do you have a part # for the NGK that is one range cooler than stock? Of course my stock might be different from your stock I think you have a GT and mine is a Cobra. Is there a difference on the plugs as far as stock heat range ? Also does anyone else have opinions on going one heat range cooler?

I run awsf 22c's(ford plugs) gapped @ .35 .
One step colder is fine .Two steps is a little much for a street car with little boost.
