I know spark plugs are what causes the engine to turn on (ignition), but can anyone post any more in depth info on them?

Say I switch to Denso Iridium Spark plugs, how would that improve anything..?

Idea is that bigger the initial ignition(by the plug) the bigger and more complete the explosion in the chamber, which gives more HP. Also, I believe well distributed detonation is another aspect of the aftermarket spark plugs. (Less torsion of the cylinder heads = less loss of down force)

I read about these a long time ago so I might be wrong...

nada!! spark plugs, wires, more powerfull ignition coil will only improve performance by a very small fraction on cars with super/turbochargers or NOs

well spark plugs, stickers and altezzas improve performance on civics by 20-30%

ahahhaahahhahahhah
