Default AEM CAI and Spark Plug Heat Range

I am running an AEM intake and will be replacing my plugs this week with some Denso Irridiums. My question is; has anyone run an IK 22 vs an IK24? How did the plugs look?

I'm running the IK24's in mine, and I think they are doing great. I've had them in there for a couple thousand miles, and I've checked them several times. I don't know how well they will do with your setup and climate, though. It is really hot (mid 90's) here in Dallas, Tx, and I have an AEM CAI and Hondata gasket that would heat things up more than the AEM alone. However, I have also done allot of cooling mods that should reverse the heating effects of the AEM CAI and Hondata gasket. I would suggest trying them. If they are too cold, you will know it quickly. I think it is best to run the coldest plug you can without fouling out, just to prevent as much timing retard as possible.

Send TypeSH a PM about it. I bought it from him. I don't know where he got it.

I'm going to put Iridium plugs in my car in coming weeks. Which one (IK-22 or 24) do you think would work best for me?
I drive my car in temperature extremes ranging from -35*C to +35*C. (That's really, really COLD to really, really HOT!)
I also have the AEM CAI.
