Default Spark Plugs??

I just ordered my headers from QTP today, and want to replace my plugs during the header install. I've heard that NKG are good, but which plugs should I get?

what the difference between the TR55 and TR55-IX, are the Iridum plugs worth the extra $$?

Go to your local auto parts store and tell them the stock number for the NGK TR-55's is #3951.

I get my TR-55's @ O'Reilly's they keep them in stock by my house. Try to get them locally before ordering them from someone. If you mail order them they are like $2 per plug + shipping. I pay something like $11.50 a set, or even a little less including taxes where I live and don't have to wait for the UPS guy to show with them.

I would go with the iridium since they are a pain in the A$$ to change.

Jamnut, I like the rims on the Bird in you pic. I Want Some!!!
