Default yes I do...

we got 3hp at the wheels on the race car because we were able to run richer and still have a better A/F mixture.

Temperature ranges are speced by the manufacturer. We run one temp colder than "stock" due to the environment.

Blue is the denso irridiums, red is the Champion plugs

Default here's their website BTW...

my brother in law works for Denso, the plugs we have in the car now are not available in the US because they'd outlive the car (no new business if the thing NEVER wears out).

No, that's not BS.<ul><li><a href="http://www.densoiridium.com/default.asp?flash=1">http://www.densoiridium.com/default.asp?flash=1</a</li></ul>

I ordered the IK22's The stock heat range are IK 20's on my VR4. I got the 22's because they say the Densos can cause preignition because they run hotter. Is that true Pete?
