I think we are off topic at this point. My car is back and running great. Only issue was, umm, me and my C.A.I. installation.

Very true.

BTW, the car sounds great. The headers made a big difference in sound, especially at idle. Still could use a cam though.

The stock iridium spark plugs do not conduct electricity as well as a copper plug like an NGK TR55, but they will have a much more consistent spark at 80k miles whereas the copper plugs would be wasted. The general would rather have longer lasting components so the customer doesn't install sub-par components by accident. In my years of dyno testing, an NGK TR55 is not a step down in performance over a factory iridium plug.

Very well put.
