copper are best for FI, bigger spark. Although you will have to replace them more often.

Here you go: http://www.forgedinternals.com/store...cat=264&page=1

I have been very impressed with the Iridums for some time now. I actually just pulled a set out of my engine, after about 8000miles, and even with a decently rich tune, and a fair amount of abuse...they were nearly perfectly and spotless.

Densos are ok but you dont need two step colder plugs and NGKs are better.

Grounding kits are for bling, we can't use spark plug wires, the part number is on www.forgedinternals.com LFR6AX-11A or something like that...

Those running the iridiums, are you attempting to gap them at all for you FI apps? I personally prefer copper for FI, but run iridums on my other car.

Well stock gap is .044 but all the Iridiums I got were gapped to .039. I did gap them down to .035 for a while to see if it changed anything...it didn't. I would run copper if the plugs weren't such a b!tch to get to. I had to replace the copper plugs on my last car too often so I'm running Iridiums on this one.

I'm running the copper NGK's on my car (cheaper and said to be better for FI). The part number for them is LFR6A-11 and I got a box of 10 from www.rockauto.com
