Noo, I never looked into it any further. If you scroll up I attached a page from NGK's website. It's breaks down their part number.
But it doesn't say what's so special. LOL

I thought I'd update this thread cause i know everyone was just on the edge of their keyboards.

Now that I've replaced the plugs and cap and rotor I'm getting 50 to 60 more miles to every tank. Which is about 3 more miles to the gallon. Sounds crazy but it's true. I set my trip odometer (cause my gage doesn't work) when I fill my tank. It used to show the empty light around 220 miles. Now it's at least 270, if I drive highway only I can go over 300.

I think I may replace the O2 sensor as well. Or should I leave well enough alone? What do you think?

Any way I'm pretty happy with the result.

I always keep an eye on the air filter. I didn't replace it but its clean. I didn't replace the coil. I didn't know that's something that should be done.
The check engine light comes on every once in a while but it runs great so I'm not worried about it. I don't know if that has something to do with the O2 sensor.
I'm happy where its at so for now so I think I'll let it be. Unless someone else can tell me why I should replace something else.

All input is appreciated.

iridium plugs on the 3.0 is pointless. Standard ngk or denso plugs are plenty good.
