I put my plugs in this weekend and really noticed a difference in the performance and sound. Love the iridium plugs!

Now I just gotta get that porting done!

Ok..So I ported the manifold and installed the new Iridium plugs and ta-da......Can't tell the difference..With Tax here in Canada I paid almost 60.00 for the plugs....There may be some diff, but I can't tell if I'm being over sensitive or I really feel something. I will also check out the fuel mileage..

Jim,
Thats not right! When I did my manifold w/ stock exhaust and stock air box.I noticed a huge difference......no joke,.. in mid to top end boost.. Forget about the plugs. You should be noticing something!.. am I right here or not? BTW I got sucked into the iriduim plugs myself . They will be in on Wed $6.99/ea Advanced Auto, Central CT, USA. Keep all posted

You have wrong jetting or porting wrong cause you WILL notice a difference

Ngk 7803............

The bike was running very awesome before I did this, and I haven't had a chance to take for a long run.
Seems smoother (a bit ) and better acceleration at higher rpms ( a bit ) Or it,s in my head

Started without choke this morning at 39*
