Default denso iridium or not???

-are denso iridium spark plugs worth the money or should i save my money for something else?

-and if i should save my money for something else, what should i invest in that has to do with gaining a little horsepower?

-i have an 01' civic LX_5-speed...intake and exhaust, thats all. what should be my next purchase? or what in the engine should i focus on first?

Well they worked good on my car, setup was B18C6 (Euro ITR) with I/H/E. I have not dynoed them against stock plugs but the car put down 196whp (on a dynapack) so they can't be that bad.

I dyno'd a set of Denso Iridiums versus NGK Coppers once and there was no difference.

You tricky guy, I told you R5671A-8's remember, that is the NGK plug! it is "THE" only plug you should run for N/A set up.

NGK 8's for a civic LX? That's way too cold of a plug for his application..

I'm picking a set up for my car though.

ok, hold on here. obviously i haven't had enough time to do as much research as i need to do.

-what's the deal with how hot or cold a spark plug is?

-and what is this 8's and 9's sh**?
