I have Densos as well.

But for those who love,

doesnt he want the IK22's if he's s/c'd?

i have the ik20's (i think) on my NA v6

.....or maybe i had it backwards...should it be:
ik20 = SC;
ik22 = NA
(but i thought it was the other way around)

You got it right, IK22s are for F/I and IK20's are best for N/A. I'm running IK20's in my N/A V6 engine. IMO Denso makes a good plug, so go for the IK22's

I would think you'd be able to pick them up at an auto store, maybe not the 22's as they are better than 20's. But it never hurts to check online and see what stores in your area carry them. If no-one does, then you can get em off ebay for pretty cheap.

You can either use the Denso IK22 like everyone just said or use NGK Iridium IX.

I use the NGK.

should be pregapped, just give them a quick check before you put them in. i could be wrong but i dont think you're supposed to mess with the gap on iridium or platinum plugs. also, the general rule denso for toyota, ngk for honda. seems to be what runs the best.

Not my purpose to confuse anybody, but what IS the gap? Does it differ for SC and NA? Please see link below:
