Re: Iridium Plugs
Denso has recently released a spark plug that is specifically designed for wasted spark ignitions. It has a platinum tipped negative electrode. This addresses the erosion issue associated with the negative polarity spark that half of the cylinders have on wasted spark systems. In addition the negative electrode has a pointy tip that provides an excellent electric field.
The model number is IT20TT. Some parts catalogs only use the part number 4714. It is the same heat range as the OE spark plug and has a tapered seat which is a universal fit for all LT5s.
This is an expensive high mileage spark plug, good for at least 40k miles. I agree with Paul that the dirt cheep ACDelco 41-602 works great for 10k miles.
