no plug is better than Nology SilverStone spark plugs. If you know anything about electronics and metal you would know silver is the best conductor of electricity ever. Copper is the next best. Nology makes their plugs with silver so the spark is better. they also have a bunch of other awesome stuff. http://www.nology.com/products.html

umm, I looked into nology, the problem is that silver pulgs will wear out real fast, sure its an awsome conductor (one of the best), the problem is that its also soft. I spoke to the moron that owns/works at nology, every other word was F-that S-whatever, I was really unimpressed with the conversation we had (so I then bought a pair of Bosh +2 plugs and I indexed them).
Irridum is used b/c it can handle the high temps, that why its great for cars using nos, its a lot less likely to melt the plugs at the higher temps. So the fact that they wanna use them in regular cars is just for longevity (just like platinum), so they really are not there for performance. you should use a high quality copper plug if you want performance, the draw back is that it will not last as long as platinum/whatever plug.
