I'm drunk, that is all!

 

Do you want active or passive safety?
DA/SA or DAO?
Steel or poly frame?

Those two guns could not be more different from either other.

 

Bullshit. This is one of the biggest damn rumors I've seen, and it's spread across every Toyota forum.

You drop in a supercharger, and guess what TRD recommends for plugs?

$7 Denso IK20 Iridium Power Spark Plug, (Pack of 1)

Denso IK20's which are single grounded iridium plugs. Get a 7th injector kit from Gadget, and guess what he sends? Denso IK22's, same thing but one step cooler.

The DIS system used in the 5vz produces double the spark used in a conventional ignition system. THE ONLY reason the dual ground tip plugs are used is to to maintain spark plug durability. It doesn't affect driveability or performance one bit. The only difference is you might have to change them a little more frequently than with twin grounds.

 

I should add one footnote.
I would still recommend only NGK or Desno plugs, and would further recommend the dual grounded on a NA motor, but not "required" by any means. Those dual grounded plugs will last you 60k no problem and the

$7 NGK BKR5EKB-11 NGK Spark Plug Stock # 3967

NGK BKR5EKB-11 really aren't that expensive from O'reilly instead of the Desno's from the dealer.

 

I am a fan of Xd's in general. I will say though, they have one nuance that I've caught with them. I'm far more akin to 1911 grip safeties. 1911's are very ergonomic and form fitting. The grip safety on the XD is...a button (for a lack of a better word). I've drawn with them before and I'm fairly consistent. But I've had two "oops" draws on timed drills where I didn't get my palm completely seated on the safety and it didn't go bang.
I'm just trying to say, practice makes perfect.

 

I haven't seen one (but then again, I haven't researched it either).
