It is actually listed as better on the Denso's website. You know, the guys who actually design these things for manufacturer's. Go argue with them.Those parts work very, very well for the vast majority of their customers.
The notion that they wouldn’t run a plug that objectively works better in a market with such huge pressures toward power/efficiency/lower emissions is.. ridiculous. It matters for every ICE customer they have, and would be low hanging fruit if it made a real difference.
If you want to run them fine, just don’t try to claim they are better unless you design combustion chambers for a living.
You OEM or bust guys crack me up. Especially on a modification forum where you yourselves change things from OEM. Seriously...think about it. Nutso.
