Ngk is cheaper than Denso. Both provide a better spark. It is estimated that they can add around 5hp, but i dont know about that.

Denso plugs will run you $11 per plug, i believe its the same plug for the supra, but dont quote me on that.

You can do better than that, look on eBay or other online shops for a much better price.

PS. Denso Iridium 4 life!!

No one ever mentioned if they noticed any gains from these plugs.......besides supposedly lasting nearly 100,000 miles (yeah, okay) what is the extra benefit of these plugs? Any performance gains at all?

Denso's website does not make any claims that iridium plugs increase power or fuel economy.
