Howdy folks,
It has been about a week and a half since I installed the Spoon's Iridium SparkPlugs.
Should be identical to the Denso iridium sparkplug group purchase that is going on now.
Plug gap is instructed to set at .8mm(standard) and I believe they are pre-gapped.
Check out some pics that I manage to grab.

Love the packaging. 'Racing Plugs', oh yeah, I am ready to get serious.


How many of you folks looked underneath the plug cover?



Original plugs, 30000 miles of incredibly hard works have been put in.


New shiny plugs ready to work even harder.


So how do they feel??
It is hard to tell as you should have been expected. Do I feel my car is running better, faster and harder? Perhaps...
But I believe I think I am noticing better gas mileage. To be sure I will report you back again after more days of driving.

Stay Tuned...

Randy:

Which ones did you use: IK24 or IK27 (heat Range)?

Pepe, as CoralDoc pointed out, it is IK24

You can see clearly from the last picture printed on the spark plug.
I made sure I get that when I photographed it.

ooopps! I browsed through the photos too fast.
Are you planning any dyno time? I will try to dyno before an after just to see the results when I get mine. More than extra power I want to see if I'm able to retain power instead of loosing.

According to most periodicals I've read, you should notice some improved or quicker throttle response. Some of the 600 Supersport bikes use them for this reason. It should start and idle cleaner. Gapping with these plug is critical. With the wire at .04mm they need to be gapped properly. To big a gap will cause an eratic spark, rough idling and misfire. Too little will cause premature wear. I'd like to know the heat range they sent you?

Thanks for the pics... looks serious. Excuse my ignorance, but does the heat range 24 mean a cooler plug for hotter running engine?
