Try a NGK BKR6E for under 550hp apps. Or a NGK BKR7E for over 550hp apps. IMO

I dont trust iridium. Break a tip and who knows what damage can happen. Copper is what Ive always used and I will continue. Let me know what u decide.

Yup go with copper plugs, Ive had several Iridums fail on my especially the Nippon Denso ones, last set I ever used cost an engine = 10000 Usd in repairs/parts I do all work myself luckily.

Go NGK, you wont loose.

if the car is heavily modded, it will go through plugs much faster.
