I know when I switched to iridiums the difference was night and day, not only in how the car ran, but also in the life of the plugs. I ran through b10egv plugs every couple of months, and have been running the same set of iridiums for 2 years now. They were expensive initially, but have more then payed for themselves in the 2 years running them.

I don't have a great ignition system, just a twin power, 10mm wires, stock coils, and iridium plugs, but I have never had breakup and it lights my 750cc/min water injected rotary running 26 psi and 10.9:1 afr's just fine. Maybe I have some power left on the table, but that's okay the car is dangerous enough.

^ Have you ever actually tested your car? be it to confirm the power or the speed of the vehicle with something like a VBOX instrument?

I'd like to see some numbers from it so we can compare it.
