Default Picked up a set of NGK TR55ix iridium for my LT1..how long u think will last in mile?

Just wanted to know becuz theez are the more expensive ones.
So i figured they might go a little longer than normal.

Also has anyone ever used thos sandblasting spark plug renewal machines?

Please tell me English is your second language?
Other than that, a spark plug is a spark plug is a spark plug. Depending on the combustion process is what determines how long a plug will last.

Be careful gappin' dose plugs cause da damn electrode gots'ta easily bust. ah' sucka'ally recon' dere be no magic in spark plugs and sucka'all ah' would plum run plain Jane NGK TR55's o' TR66's assumin' ya' need some little colda' plug. De sandblastin' tool be of mo little value becasue plugs is so muh' cheap. What it is, Mama!

Fantastic.

What is a set of 55's run now-a-days? $2/plug? So your at $16. Change your plugs in normal intervals.
