i dont own an mr2, but in any boosted app that ive had, i would slight misfires on hot days unless the gap was 0.030 or smaller. 0.028 has been working well for me. bkr7e's as well.

most Iridium and platinum plugs don't recommend re gapping due to the softness of the tip. or atleast that's what it says on the package.

I run 18psi and 0.035 on the SRT-4. If you get blowout, lower the gap until you don't :P

This is also a good point.. Iridiums have been known to fall apart, you want to make sure you don't mess around with them too much.

Good marketing scam. That's all.

I love when people try to argue that my car will run faster and better with iridiums.

Not faster, but iridiums will last longer than coppers. For me, bkr7eix.
