MikTip- you recommend the AC Delco Rapidfire 9s over NGKs. What's the advantage? Gap specs?

Iridiums are intended for "turbo" applications...
However, they will sell you a set, at over $12 each, and tell you they install in anything...
When Iridiums first came out they were soley intended for turbo motors, but have seem'd to migrate over to the NA motors.
Again, IMO, a spark plug costing over $12 each is overkill for the Audi 12v V6. Especially a "bone-stock" 12v V6.
However its your cash...

Considering our spark plugs are easily accessible...
I don't even see any advantage in running platinum plugs. Electric conductivity of platinum plugs is actually lower than those of ordinary copper plugs. Platinum is just longer lasting. As for iridium, doesn't that stuff belong in satellite phones? ;-)
