Guys Running Iridium Spark Plugs With FI
Hey guys, I am going to be installing my brand new vortech s/c 2morrow, and I ordered (should get them today) the Iridium LFR6AIX-11 (one step colder). I just want to make sure that they come pre-gapped for our car. Several people have told me different things. Some say to gap, and some say just put them in how they come?
I would like to know exactly which 1 to do?
Thanks,
Richard
BTW, I have a 2003 CS 5AT

I am curious what the plugs need to be gapped to, usually there is a formula if they don't come pre-gapped.

Go NGK Irdium one step colder, as you mentioned...perfect for F/I applications. In regards to gapping, withour direct coil over plug ignition system, you can run factory gaps of .040 to .044 without any chance of spark blow out. Some people prefer to run tighter gaps, but that is an old habit from the past, when a lot of cars had traditional spark plug wires and ignition coils.
