my friend got some split fire spark plugs for his sc....they're not any type of platinium or iridium blahblah plugs, just look like old-school spark plugs with a little fork for the spark to jump to....before i put the engine back together, i want to have some other opinions on the things. if it were my car, i wouldn't do it...what about you guys??? thnks

I had them...

I had them in one of my SC's and pulled them out after 8K miles and they looked OK when I pulled them...They came in the car when I got it and the eng. only had 800 miles on it...I was having problems at high RPM's so I finally decided to pull them. The Dumba$$ had them all gapped from 62-69...I could not believe what I had found...But the plugs did look OK far as color and the rest of the hardware...But 8K miles aint much...

I would go iridium, or triple plats...

cheers
 
that's wut i thunked

yeah, i'd put the iridiums in myself...i really don't see what the split plugs would do that's any better anyways:confused: well, i'll put them in, make double sure ;) that they're gapped right and see what happens, thanks alot guys i'm just worried about the car running right now....i'll probably end up changing the darn things in a few months :rolleyes:

I'm in the market for Iridium plugs as I'm having a bunch of other work done and am going to use this as an excuse to upgrade the plugs and put on my Magnacors, who do you guys recommend, I can't seem to find Iridium plugs locally (or maybe I just need to look harder?) I'm figuring $12 a plug??

Thanks,

I bought my NGK's from NAPA for $4.99 ea. They will probably have to order them from the warehouse. Mine say TR55-1IX/7316 on the box. I don't know about the Denso's.
 
I've got a NAPA here so I'll go check it out... the question that I would follow with then is, if NGK Iridiums are only $4.99 ish, why are the Denso's $12.00 anyone know the difference?

Thanks,
Paul
