the reg tr55's are more then fine,
when people tell you stock wires are good , are right, but if you "have" to replace them cause yours are bad, then any good 8mm+ wire will work

The only benefit to irridiums is that you don't have to change them as often, right? People say regular TR55's are good for about 15k, and irridiums triple that. Is this accurate?

Other way around man. Irridiums require a lower temperature or something to that extent. They work great, but the irridium coating that is on the conductor, chips and cracks off...or just becomes faulty. I read this in my Super Chevy mag. I have it at my house if you want any more info let me know.
