Correct me if I am wrong Paul, but that was with the 10-bolt and 3.73 gears before the Powerdyne right? Nitto DR's also and shifting like a *****!

How old were the plugs they replaced what were they and did you do them at the same time as the delteq?

Iridiums primary advantage is going to be longevity might be a slight pefcormance gain over a $2 copper plug but not enough to make them worthwhile from that standpoint, again longevity is going to be their primary advantage.

Actually, the reason I switched is I origionally had new ac's in there with my msd. The msd wiped out the stock replacement plugs in about a month. Someone recommended these, I read up on them and I went for it. I've since removed the msd, when it fried my cap and rotor, and switched to the delteq, which my car has never seen a idle this smooth probly since it was new.

That was my best time with just bolton's and drag radials. On that run I was very surprised my that time myself. I spun the tires bad for about 20-25 feet off the line. The fallowing time out, I exploded my posi on a 2500 launch.

I have yet to get my car tuned and make a complete pass with my powerdyne on there. Hoping for low 12's to high 11's.
