Use the search tool and search Iridium Plugs.
Read a lot about them before you spend the coin. I read a ton on this subject and came to the conclusion that you may generate a more complete burn, but you won't pick up any HP/TQ.
There is also a ton of user experience on this subject if you search it.

Did you notice a difference from your original plugs compared to the Iridium?

Yea, I guess, but I am honestly curious if users of the Iridium (Denso) plugs truly see/feel a difference.....I really thought it may only be a mileage increase.

P.S. Takes one to know one......
