Default Iridium Plugs?

Has anyone used the iridium plugs? Local shop tried to recommend them for use with the magnecor wires. They claim that they burn hotter and more reliably than the plat + 4's.

Thanks!

It's a 1998 4.0 SE. As far as I can tell the motor is pretty stock.

Don't waste your money on them, our engine do real well on the Plus 4's. I ran one set of plus 4's for 70,000 miles, then switched the the Iridium's and lost a little low end torque.

Outstanding, thank Mike! Magnecors and +4's it is. Next time I'm in Colorado, beer is on me.

I asked once before but nobody responded. What is the best source for purchasing Magnecors?

Hey Krazzz,
The best price I've seen on them so far:

I found another site that had a tune up kit for $130 or so that included plugs, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it again. Does anyone else have a cheaper source?
