If anyone's looking for the Iridiums, I just ran across this great price. Since I've only got 200 miles on my Z, I thought I'd pass it off to someone more in need.

The car ran a lot smoother and I ran slightly better times at the track. I figure $50 for better plugs and smoother idle was worth it alone.
I figure I'll replace my spark plugs with Iradiums in my 350Z now. I just forgot how nice a improvement it was on my Firebird. Now that this has been brought up I'll change them in the next couple of days and see if I notice a improvement. I'll post back here if I get a chance to do this.
Below is the info I found on the NGK site.
NGK IRADIUMS = Iridium IX LFR5AIX-11 gap at .044

Can anyone help me with this purchase? I see you can get "stock" heat range, 1 step colder, or 2 step colder plugs.
I have an 2003 enthusiast with the only mod being a JWT Popcharger and I don't have any other mods planned. Based on this what is my best choice and why?
Thanks for the help.
