Do one them often recommended searches on this... I remember a thread back in the fall that had extensive coverage. The short answer was no get some good copper ones and change them on a regular basis.

depends on how modified the engine is no? a stock engine will notice hardly any gains using platnum or iridium plugs so its better to just use cheaper ones but change them more often
