Plugs question

Which one to go with?

NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs for $7 (Electrode Tip Material: Iridium tip)

or

NGK V-Power Spark Plugs for $2.40 (Electrode Tip Material: Nickel alloy tip)

2nd question: I am changing out plugs one at a time to see which one of mine is bad, is it a bad idea to start switching in nickel alloy tip ones when the rest are Iridium tipped?

I dont see any N2O in your mods so I would stick with TR55's (V-Power). I dont think that would hurt anything but why dont you just change all of them and compare them afterwards....just my .02¢

well ive heard different things...depends on how hard u use them....ive heard the copper ones last a couple of months on a hard run or around a year....the iridiums will last longer then that, because they wont burn out or melt down as fast

I vote for V-power. I change mine about 6-8 months when I probably don't need to.
