Spark Plugs

I have a 03 TL with 36K miles. Will I see a lift in power and performance if I switch out stock plugs to NGK Iridium's or should I wait?

I don't think you will get much more lift in power and performance at all .
I will stay with the OEM sparks.....

That's because Denso Iridiums, at the least the most common ones, contain Iridium center electrodes but conventional ground electrodes.

The NGK 6994 Iridiums contain an Iridium center w/platinum pad on the ground electrode for maximum longevity/durability in apps where there's firing from the ground to center electrode, not sure if TL is one of them, but its possible.

The plugs w/Iridium centers and platinum pads on the ground electrodes will last virtually forever unless there's some extreme fouling.
