Cool. Ill have to get a set. I think that they will work better because of the taper on the electrode. I read somewhere that the more exposed the spark is the better...

Not only that, but they have a cool name

If im not mistaken, the IRIDIUM Plug is the replacement of the B10EV. I havent looked into it as I still have a couple of new sets left.

Iridiums are nice. They are overkill on a stock engine, but with an upgraded carb or forced induction they would probably be a welcome addition.

I have iridium plugs in my race car, Denso racing plugs $35 each. I have iridium plugs in my Sienna van, about $18 each. Expect to pay somewhere in between those.

I tried them and they really sucked for street use. They fouled very easily. Now if you could get them in a hotter heat range they'd probably work but I'm not sure if you can.

hey. i got some off racingbeat. they were the same price as the others $8. i can't say wether they are better or not. i got them cause they were cool, different. i've got a race ported engine with the dflifiridlriflgisjir (however its spelled) ignition. can't say that they foul any more the regular ones on my car. but i clean them every week anyways. so if you don't have a stock set up try them out.

thats right. they are not designed for street use. I personally like B8EV's-B10EV's but no longer in production.I also have good experience with autolite race series 4294 as well. (i think thats the number..)

Yes, its a Pro7 with a 12a. Internally its completely stock. No clearance problems.

I get my plugs at sparkplugs.com. I've found them to have just about everything, good prices and fast delivery.

And as others have said, racing plugs foul on the street, they don't like low speeds. And $35 a plug would be WAY overkill.
