Just buy NGK's!
Spark plugs won't make a difference.

mate spark plugs make NO DIFFERNCE TO POWER. even if you get like £55 iridium ones, they will make no differnce. might seem like they have but not really. the only way it would make a difference is if your current ones are in bad shape. then it could restore osme lost power. other wise just get like £15 split V ones. there good.

a spark is a spark and it looks like you are looking for a power increase, and iridium plugs won't do anything unless you have a heavily modded engine. Just go for standard NGK's mate

On a 1.1 I have to agree its going to make sod all difference. BUT the difference between them is the cleanliness of the burn from the spark which will affect power (a bit). Which is why the V give a difference because youre effectively getting 2 sparks.

Plus iridium, and platinum last longer, otherwise on a 1.1 just put normal plugs in.

sorry not true on two fronts. There is no difference in the sparks “cleanliness” and from a “V” plug you only ever get one spark same as for 3 or 4 prong heads you only get one spark.

standard bocsh or ngk plugs are sufficient.
get 4 for roughly £5
regardless of a 1.1 only way you would ever need stupid priced spark plugs is on a stupid spec car.

If you drive VTS or VTR you need a performance spark plugs, but if you like too much my choice would be DENSO. Really has differences from other spark plugs I know becouse I have drive them.

People dont seem to understand this issue. The more heat produced by the spark (that is not wasted), the more fuel is burnt (even a moderate mechanic should know that each time not 100% of the fuel gets burnt), the more fuel burnt, the more power produced! Simple.
A V spark plug (of which there are many types) simply reduces the contact area of the main electrode, which means there is less heat dissipation and therefore more heat in the spark and therefore.............. (see above)
Irridium and other compounds are also used to reduce quenching (heat dissipatioin) from the electrodes. All of which will inevitably (if effective) give more power!

Question is though.
Is if what you say is true. how much power.
Can't see a spark plug make a massive difference your power personally.
