spark plugs for nitrous

I currently have zex plugs and i'm contemplating changing to denso iridum.


i've had an intermittent problem w/ my car not starting on the first try (maybe once a week). i'm not sure if it's the zex plugs or the unichip that causes the problem because they were installed at roughly the same time.

anybody have any opinions on which is better?







if i do go w/ the denso would i need the IK22?

Yes I believe he is.



Matt, I had the starting problems every now and then with the UniChip also. I know other people also experienced similar problems.

I use the IK22's with my current setup and the car starts on the 1st or 2nd crank everytime, even now at 86k miles

i have been running a 75 shot, and it doesn't activate until WOT. so i have to be careful and not floor it too soon or it will smoke the tires through 3rd gear.

i go out of the hole part throttle and when i feel i have enough traction i hit it. then it's time to hold on and hit the shifts.

I would assume each time you go to the track it would be diffrent, what RPM would you say you hit it and what kind of tires are you running.I am running michelon pilot sports havent had them to the track got then late nov.

As far as what plug I recommend, it depends if I'm lining up against you. If I am, I recommend Champion resistor plugs.

The Iridium's are a good solid plug and I don't think you can go wrong with them. What's the price difference between the plugs.
