Default Poll: Denso vs. NGK spark plugs

Just a quick question....

What are your guy's opinon on a better spark plug, (for both the 300 and the 400) the denso irridium,(Spelling sorry) vs the same style NGKs?

I am trying to make a decision based on performance, mileage, acceration, etc., Thanks for the input

I went with the ngk because of price and they rock. If I wasn't broke that weekend I would have done the denso as I have heard so many good things about them but like I said I am happy with the ngk's.

NGK.

Why some people would pay twice as much for Denso that performs the same.... is beyond my realm of understanding.
