Exclamation Stock Plugs

I didn't realize that the stock plugs were NGK platinums until I pulled them out. I went with the IHK20 plugs. The stock plugs with 16k on them looked pretty bad. I noticed immediately that my idle improved and it seems to rev a bit smoother. I went colder for future N20 use. Pretty good way to spend 75.00.

Default NGK Irridium

This is a new plug that can be ordered by Monarch! The 1 degree colder plug is LFR6A-1X-11 and has a NGK part number of #6619.

FYI, silver has the highest electrical conductivity of all metals, not copper, or iridium, or platinum. See, e.g., http://www.lehigh.edu/~amb4/wbi/kwar...nductivity.htm. Of course, silver corrodes/tarnishes fairly easily, so it wouldn't make for good plugs, I suppose.

the other advantage to iridium is they work with nitrous. nitrous and platinum have a bad chemical reaction. also iridium has less resistance, therefore more spark energy with the same voltage. cheaper upgrade than an ignition
