Performance isn't as good with the new Iridium plugs...I have a couple friends one ran his Echo 150,000 miles on +4's and the other over 200,000 on his Tercel with no issues.

Whats in there, NGK or Denso Ir? Didnt the Tercel have dual coil ignitor?

Dyno chart or three 1/4mil runs back to back with New Ir vs New Bosch +4? OTW its all seat of the pants. Really I cant complain about seat of the Pants especially if they are size 6 Tight Jeans with holes

BAck to reality, Hey if you want MORE power and you did some mods like CAI and maybe header or fart can: go one Heat range COLDER (like 6 vs 5 in NGK) and file back GND electrode the open the gap another 0.1mm
