Denso vs NGK

Do you guys "feel" the performance differences between these two Rotax legal plugs? Do the Denso justisfy 4 times the cost of NGK?

Luen,

IMO there are two issues ralative to "performance" of the plug. The most commonly refered to is how the engine runs using the plug. We have not found a huge difference in lap times when comparing the Denso Iridium and the NGK BR**EG .

The performance "advantage" that the Denso Iridium offers is related to the voltage requirements of the two plugs. The Iridium plugs require considerably less voltage to fire as compared to the NGK. This translates into much longer battery life when using the Iridium plug. It also means that if your battery gets low during a race, the Iridium will continue to provide a full spark long after the NGK leaves you sitting on the side of the track. And as we all know, "to finish first, you must first finish"!

I have seen first hand a kart running NGK BR**EG finish at the top at a National level event. That made the decision easy for me.
