Iridium plugs is extra money that didn't need to be spent.

NGK TR55's do just fine.

depending on how you treat your car money spent on iridiums can be well spent....you run it hard alot that copper will burn off really fast....

i went with ac delco iridiums pre-gapped, they went through 3 motor break ins, and over 30k miles...they look brand new when i changed them....so yes they were worth the 50$....copper would not have held up over that
