Re: Denso spark plugs? (rarfinacial)
Want to buy Denso spark plugs for my 2004 C-5 6speed coupe. What plug #, gap and where to buy? I know there is alot of info out here. Please input, Thanks all :seeya
The gap of 44 fot the iridium and 50 looks about right for each type of plug. I wouldn't change either.

I am running Denso Platinums, the ones that came stock in some Z06's. Gapped at .050 an they run and idle nice. I had TR55's before, I couldn't tell any difference.

I just ordered a set from "Running With the Devil" (forum vendor) for $78. Do a search on "denso" for an interesting misfire chart published by RWTD. Compares various plugs. By the way, the IT16's are pre-gapped for your 2000

Personally I would go with the TR55's they were $1.49 each at O'Reilley Auto Parts here in the Dallas area and there was a huge improvement over the stock plugs. They are really cheap and you can purchase several sets of them for the price of one set of the Denso plugs.
Here is a post I made after installing the TR55's: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=771685
Good luck with your choice :)

I got a set of Denso IT16's from RWTD for my z06. They came gapped correctly.
