Those plugs are fine and I believe the gap is .060. But you can double check it by looking at the placard under the hood.

Hello,

Iridiums are a long lasting plug. Not a performance plug in a SC'd engine.
If you want a long lasting plug the Iridium is worth the money. If you are concerned about your track times, and change your plugs on a regular basis, Copper is the way to go.
Iridiums last a long time, but have a tendancy of burning hotter, creating detonation under the right circumstances.
Coppers don't last so long, but have better cooling attributes reducing the possibility of detonation.

Later now,
Clint

since i don't have any mods, i just put the factory plugs back in the car. i figured the factory ones lasted 100k and still looked good, that putting the same ones back in was the way to go. i know that whatever i got from the dealer, they were not cheap!
