I heard there's life on Mars too.

Fact is, lots of guys including myself have gone to iridium plugs for spraying and they're working just fine. I'm using the NGK TR6IX iridiums which is what most that have gone to iridium plugs for their nitrous setups are using (or the super-expensive Densos). Like I mentioned in your other thread, I think the TR7's are probably too cold of a range to be your best choice. I'd stick with the TR6's whether you stick with copper or go with iridiums.

I'd go with the Iridiums also, 6ix though, unless I feel fruity and hook the second stage up, then I'll NEED the colder 7ix

It's a good plug if you need something 2 steps colder. We were using it in our Lightning up to last Friday.

A rod decided to leave.

I'm just going off of many friends I have, not the internet. They range from LS1, mustang and cobra, lightning and imports. I would say over half have gone back to what they were using before. they were not caused by human error either...lots of detonation w/ boost and nitrous cars and trucks.

if something has been proven like the V-Power then why stray?
