Picking Spark plugs FYI

This was one of the major factors in picking my plugs..I was doing research a while back about the pulstar plugs and found this...many people ask about plugs and thought this was a good little article done by sparkplugs.com. I went with the NGk Iridium IXs a while ago....great plugs.

yeah that is about the average price...between $7-8 a plug. You could try and shop around and save a few pennies but that is a pretty good price.

I have them too...they are amazing! I am sure I get about 5 to 10 HP more with them and no hesitation when you press on the gas pedal.

One week from now when you develope an engine miss, rather than starting the 400th tread on the topic, just switch to ANY NGK plug. It gets very old.

There have been VQ's that have burned those plugs right up. I've used them as well but I just put in NGK coppers now. Does the job.

I hope your being funny. Electricity follows the path of least resistance, therefore the spark jumps to the one same spot every time. There are not four simultaneious sparks each time. Its a marketing ploy, and I feel sorry for anyone who falls for it.
