Default Delco rapid fire spark plugs?

Does anyone have any information on the Delco Rapid fire spark plugs? I want to purchase a new set and was debating between the Rapid fire or the NGK iridium IX.

I've been using them for about 2 years now and I love them. They work best in cars that have some miles on them and burn a little oil. You won't be wasting your money on them. :D

Why do they work best with oil consumption? Are they a hotter heat range?

I run these plugs in both my work trucks- they are very good. Both have Chevy 350 TBI motors. I just bought new MSD wires & NGK TR55 plugs for my 98. I have been asking around on the forum which plugs to run- the favorite seemed to be the TR55's. They only cost me $1.70 ea (sparkplugs.com) I didn't even know rapid fire's were available for the LS1, or I may have tried them. I have 77K on my vette. I just went with the NGK copper plugs based on the advise of the forum members. I was looking for the for performance & not worried about longevity. Let us know what you think if you decide to try them out. Scott

I ran them with my supercharged truck and they appeared to work great. Better than most plugs I had tried.
