I saw you talking about those in a thread you started, but I don't see anyone else giving any feedback on them, plus, they seem kinda hard to find/get...

They look like they have been out for a couple years, you said they are the newer version of the 6725's, what's the difference? I need to find the best plugs for my set up and order them ASAP, meaning fast shipping too, but summit nor jegs has them so who else ha them and is quick at getting them to my door?

Oops, meant to edit, not quote myself!! Lol

www.sparkplugs.com R7420-10

They don't need feedback, they're the best rotary spark plug that you can buy at the moment. They last forever and provide the best spark. I don't even consider stock plugs anymore, the extra longevity in them outweighs the extra cost.

I don't get why people still buy the platinum r6725 when the iridium r7420 is available for like a dollar more. They're the same plug, just with different electrodes, iridium lasts longer.

because they're known to work, and work well.

even a shitty spark plug can take out an engine, why gamble when there's little info on the 7420's? probably not an issue but there's plenty of plugs that fit, and just as many that work like *** under the conditions these will see.

The 7420's are the "upgrade" of the 6725 with the iridium electrode. Same plug, same performance, same "reliability", except over double the life for an extra dollar. Even when used extensively at the track which is what they were made for.

The 7420's are known to foul less than the 6725's. The only down side is the coldest range is 11.0 vs the 11.5 for the 6725's.
