    Denso or NGK, but make sure to get the twin electrodes or your 5vz-fe will run like crap.

    Not only that, but the timing cover says to use the dual ground plugs. :cool:

    Yes that is exactly what you said, I was emphasizing that on the timing cover it plainly states dual ground plugs are to be used. Just pointing that out.

    Is there something that makes the Denso dual ground plugs different from other multi electrode plugs?

    edit: and by different I don't mean like "Denso is better because its oem!" but different in some technical way. I hear these plugs mentioned alot regarding Toyotas so I'm wondering if they have some magic built into them :p

    They are the correct heat range, and resistance required by the Ignition.

    Thats a cooler plug. You "could" have carbon buildup on the tip, and possible a CEL.
