Not much diference, BUT, Irridium's are a longer lasting plug. They're suposed to last 90,000 miles.


EDIT>>
If you really want to wake up the Camaro, go with underdrive pulleys, gears and a tuner.

Well, I have about $2700 in mods. Gears and a tuner will run you about a grand, UDP's about $150 w/belt, That and the intake you are going to get will REALLY wake things up. Then LOWER that bad boy. Get some Eibach pro series springs. It'll make it handle a little better. And if you like the twisties, like I do, sub frame connectors will also help.

It's a hand held device that plugs into the OBDll port under the dash. With it you can change the perameters of the car's computer. Like, timing, fuel injection, speed limiters, rev limiters, shift points and shift pressure(auto tranny), and other things. I have a DiabloSport Preditor. You can add up to 20 RWHP if it's done right. Not sure with the Camaro, but with a newer Stang, you need it to recalibrate the speedometer when you change the gears.
