What Randy Webb told me in regards to irridiums was...
You don't need them, but think of them as a bit of an insurance policy.

I don't know how true that is, but $26 isn't a bad price for insurance.

It smooths the car out by ALOT..
I know cause I have ran 17% pulley without plugs for like 20k miles.
Since I have installed it, lower rpm, higher rpm, all smoother than before..

NGK is the way to go. Irridiums are the way to fly. Just a little better performance.

Wow... you mean I can run my engine without plugs! I could have saved the money and a little extra weight!
