Okay, I did a little research on spark plugs.

Iridium is beng used these days in the top of the line plugs becasue of its strength. Basically, it means an iridium plug will last longer than platnium or whatever.

However, because iridium is so much stronger, they can build plugs with much smaller electrodes, which provides a better, cleaner spark, while lasting just as long as other materials.
