personally i dont think they would be much different all being irridium if there the same heat range etc. i think you would see more a difference going from a different type of material or desing then brand.. soposedly iridiums biggest advantage-they stay clean longer.

Personally I think that you should tell us a bit more about your truck. I would suggest the NGK T-line of plugs. Maybe a TR-5 or 55 or 6. Depending on what you are doing.

NGK TR-55's gapped at .055. They are about $17 a set while the Iridiums are about $60 a set. I switched from regular 55's to iridiums and noticed no difference in anything.
