Question Denzo Uridiums (spark plugs)

Just curious , my car's been running a little rich. ( i know hondas to that ) and i've had some troubles w/ my vafcII (bad wire connections (fixed (w/ sodder)) and my rpms were running on the low end around 699-720 and my car would bog down , its fix'd now but i can still feel the car shutter every once in a while.....im tryin to run the car alittle lean to keep the 14:9:1 (?) and the only way i can think of doing it is to run hotter burning plugs ( Denzo Uridiums) the car has 40K miles and i think its time for a tune up ( even though honda says to do it at 100K) so just curious would this help....also are they worth the money ( $13 a pc) and do they show any significant power gains????

Get the NGK iridium IX. I replaced mine at 18k. My car has much beter performance with the iridiums in there due to lower voltage requirements and better able to withstand engine heat.

No, the 12000xcws-dfa334 reactor outputs something like 27000 hp, however in our cars with the drivetrain loss, we would only gget like 170whp. K, bye now....gonna have more drinks. Thanks.

There are 2 water driven reactors that drive 4 turbines putting out between around 280,000hp to the shafts. You missed a zero.
