Iridium plugs have iridium at both. Those NGK V are cheap move up the food chain. I will send you a pic of them once I remove them.I'm going to put the Denso Iridium plugs in. You said as long is it fires on time....well thats MY POINT. Iridium plugs fire 0.6 to 0.7 seconds faster I know that doesn't sound like alot but think how fast then pistons are moving. Pre detonation is bad so is late. With these plugs u dont worry about that they fire at the top stroke on time every time at idle or at 7grand I can care less about what you run in your car or what you think works or not a guy was asking what people thought about grounds I told him what I had seen with my own eyes.Like I said to start not all cars will respond the same to that mod(or and other) there all at diffrent stages of performance and mainteance. But I'm telling you grounds do help some cars. I dont sell car part, I'm a jet mechanic I have no reason to hype up a product. I just call it like I see it. I did mistype when I said more electrode I ment bigger. The smaller the electrode the more concentrated the potential at the electrode. Mine I believe are around 0.4mm. Since they fire faster they give a slight edge on acceleration and they have helped with gas consumtpion. So please keep teaching me so that one day I can be a vet like you guys.
