I just ordered the same one Fluidz,
48.33 for 6 shipped 1st class to my door !
I am gonna gap mine a little lower though. I have about 6k on my copper LFR6-11's.
Gonna do an Iridium plug change, scer oil change and Mobile 1 synthetic change (been breaking it in with regular oil) to get dialed in for my upcoming Edge Converter runs.
Your getting too fast, I gotta keep that "Edge" ya know?
I thought that was a great price where I got em!

i have used irridium plugs in my bikes...
how the heck do you accurately gap them, without risk of damage to the tip??
i have always left em as-is, for those reasons....
also, what does vortech suggest, copper or irridium plugs??
i am torn b/w them at the moment...

I would like .39 but I have never used Iridium, if I can't gap em so be it. They will stay as cool as copper but just last longer is my hope/desire. My coppers seem to like .39

Do I need to set the gap?
A.
Generally, no. The DENSO Iridium Power plug comes pre-set with a protective sleeve over the firing end, to protect the gap from accidental alteration. DENSO Iridium Power’s ultra-efficient firing power compensates for normally recommended gap settings that are smaller than the pre-set value. In the cases of vehicle modifications (nitrous, turbo-chargers, super-chargers, high power ignition systems, etc.), some adjustments may be desired. Or, if you prefer to remain consistent with factory specifications, you may adjust. However, please be careful not to place any stress on the fine center electrode during adjustment. You could accidentally break off the very hard, and therefore brittle, tip.
so, i guess its plug-n-play (no pun intended)
