With the low compression of my engine and the temp around freezing in the morning I couldnt get my Alfa to start with out using starting fluid (ether).
I recently installed a set of Denso brand iridium spark plugs and I'm now able to start the car without the ether. We've been in a bit of a cold snap for here and this has been a big help.

Had to throw away a set of iridium plugs that was in my GTV, middle electrode was completely eroded away on 3 of 4 plugs.
The engine didn't seem to mind 5mm plug gaps though.

B7ES? Isn't that a bit hot for a race motor? I would think B9ES would be a racing choice, but if 7's don't run too hot...what can I say? Must be cold up there! That MSD only gives you ~115mJ also, kind of low for my liking.
Does anyone have an indication that some particular plug gives say, 4-8hp more? In that case, tell me the type and I'm prepared to dyno the engine when I get the cams, with these plugs comparing them with my usual N2C ones. Free power is always welcome.
Another change I will make concerns engine oil (not for this thread but since I'm here...) I will change to Motul Racing 20w-60 Synthetic. Costs ~26Euros/liter here, it had better work for that price!
