Well From my experience, my car ran like a flintstone mobile on the Iridiums, Im no Rb expert, but I just now how good mine run with these plugs, I have had them in there for a few months now. Those Iriduims were fouling out within a 2 day period with me, These Ac's have not fouled yet. If you have a plug and your happy with it then stick to it until you need a new set so your not wasting money, But I wasted a few hundred dollars on NGK's Crap and I won't do that again.

Well I have had more trouble then most on my 25 setup, But its internally built, Stock crank, Forged eagle rods, Weisco Pistons, ACL race bearings, ARP head studs, Cometic HG, HKS timing belt, Bored .030 over, Decked, Balanced. Stock turbo, Stock ECU, Stock INjectors, stock intake, z32 MAFs, SafcII, Gizzmo launch control, and will be soon switched from gas to Propane!!

Well That was one of my problems with it running super rich, Esp at idle, Try this. While its running, un-plug the coolant temp sensor and see how much that leans it out. When Im running at the track, Right before I do my burnout I pull the plug, It takes my A/F readings from 11.5 idle to 13.8 allows me to do my burnout and stage without the car dying!! Mine is sending the wrong readings to the ECU thats why its running so rich, But im going to elliminate that problem with the Propane. I like it simple.

Use too it would Die when I came out of the burnout box, It was loading up with fuel, After changing the plugs and re-gapping them smaller .028 it didn't die anymore but still runs rich, So I un-plugged that sensor and it runs better.

I am running the bcpr6es but I never understood what the "-11" meant. But I am gonna regap them to the correct setting of .031 inches and I am waiting on my vac/boost gauge and another new walbro pump, this time to replace my bosch 040 (a downgrade) that is probably gone out. Builds pressure, but fuel flow is weeeeaaaaakkkk...

Stock gap was 1.1mm..... you really aren't "supposed" to regap iridiums or double platinums... by bending the strap you can crack off the special metal.... but either way they were supposed to come out of the box at 1.1mm
