Lorn,

Talked with Linda today.  Still don&#39;t know the benefits of using fine wire (Iridium) versus massive other than price.  Champion massive are $26.95 versus Tempest massive at $22.75.  Champion fine wire (Iridium) $89.95 versus Tempest fine wire (Iridum) at $49.50.  These prices are from Aircraft Spruce.

I like the idea of the center electrode and resistor being fused together as one piece.  That new design is found in both types of plugs made by Tempest.  The price difference between the two types of plugs should be no factor since the Fine wire (Iridium) are supposed to last 1000 hours or more than the massive.

According to Linda, the platinum plugs are no longer being manufactured.  

I have a call in to tech. Support at Champion but have not heard back from them yet.

Art Jensen

With the Champion plugs, at 500 to 800 hours, you will either have to buy massive plugs to swap the resisters or buy new iridium plugs.

The Tempest plug resisters will stay good for the life of the plug.<BR><BR>Other than the resisters, you will not be able to tell the difference between the iridium plugs.

Are you satisfied with them? Do you think they are better than Champion, and why? Are you using the massive or fine wire? Help me make an informed decision.<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; I am getting ready to order a new set of plugs. I currently use the RHB32E by Champion in my IO-550-N. I have no complaints with these plugs but wonder if the Tempest with their one piece resistor design is better as their ad would suggest. <BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Thank you for
