what spark plugs and wires do you guys recommened? Are the denso irridiums any good? Any input is appreciated.

 

So far I really like the Denso Iridiums, because of the very small elctrode/insulator anode surface area there is very little room for them to foul on a very rich motor. they seem to have no problem sparking at high rpm under great cylinder pressures, havent had one miss yet. the heat range coding can be confusing. the only real problem with them is that because of the excelllent materials used in making them they can be hard to read sometimes. wires dont really care so much, i run msd but stock seems to be great too, stay away from anything with that ground strap on em, i do not believe in the capacitor theory.

No experience with the iridiums. I use side-gapped NGK's in the standard heat setting. Due to the side-gapping I change them alot and I also run an MSD 6AL so that helps the spark under boost, but I like the stock plugs just fine. For wires it really doesn't matter too much especially with the MSD, but I run Magnacore 8.5mm Competition and they work fine. I also think they look better, but thats just my opinion.

whats a good gap size for a b16 built with 12 psi

 

for the denso's if u dont have a after market ignition get them. but i dont think they are worth it

 

I bought some Nology hotwires a while back and my plugs have burned perfect since. They did burn ok before but I can tell they burned cleaner after installing the Nologys. Read their claims at - http://www.nology.com/hot.html and at - http://www.nology.com/hotdetail.html with their HP numbers here - http://www.nology.com/hotperf.html Nology claims that top fuel racers, Amato, Garlitz, and Bernstein use their product. On the other hand, I hear that Papadakis uses Honda plug wires, and is doing well with them, hehe. As far as plugs go, I have always used NGK's and since they get replaced frequently and I get them for $2 each, I will probably continue to use them.
