Performance Spark Plugs

Anyone bought a set before?
Is there any real performance benefit?
For example example Bosch Platinum Ir-Fusion or simillar

Nope. Just use the regular basic NGKs. Pop em out every 10,000 when you do your oil change and check the gap and give them a clean. Since our engines use a 'wasted spark' system to halve the number of coils required it works the plugs twice as hard. I think the changeover interval is 50,000 or something, you might like to do them at 30,000 intervals depending on wear.

used ngk iridium plugs in my bp engine and have since returned to copper plugs, just from listening, the copper ones sound crisper/cleaner... and more responsive in lower rpm....
