I will give this a read when I get to the hotel this evening. Just started a road trip of about 2500 miles with the iridium plugs. Will pull them when I get back home and inspect and maybe do a follow up video.

So far my preliminary conclusion is that any benefit is minuscule on this engine.

Have a great trip. To be honest, for a plug to make a significant difference to performance in the modern world it would have to be blessed with some magic. As I said recently on the 'other' forum, when we try new things there is a tendency to use more throttle to assess any possible change and that makes us think 'ooh this is good'.

I think I'll keep my originals that were changed less than 8k miles ago. The Hilltop tune will make a much more significant difference.

Keep safe.

Thanks. i will try.

I think you are right about the tune vs the plugs.
