Default Iridium Plugs?

I'm running Denso's Iridium plugs on my turbo b18c and i dont seem to be having any problems, but someone suggested that the plugs are better for all motor. What do u guys think?

I heard those plugs like melt or something under boost. Why not just stick with copper plugs? They get the job done and they cost $1.50 a plug.

Those plugs are really good for FI! my buddy runs them on his supra 903hp 34psi on c16 and they didn't melt

Your better off spending your money on tuning or something, As you need to change your plugs more often with boost. Just stick with a stop or 2 colder copper plug. Work great and are really cheap.

Do supra's use the same kind of ignition as hondas? Different cars like different plugs better. My friend's 240 wont run coppers but honda motors love them. Im just repeating what i heard. Maybe someone told me something wrong.

i'm running denso iridiums (2 steps colder than stock) in my stock motor gsr with greddy turbo kit plugs look fine every time i check then. i'm pleased with then , denso advertises that they can handle something 4000 degrees before melting. read it some where don't know how ture that is but they work..

Thats what im saying. Why not just stick with copper plugs since they get the job done and save the money for other things?
