Re: IVAC amplifier
It really depends on your IVAC voltage setting and the way you drive your car.
If you set it at a conservative voltage and drive like all good Singaporeans should, the lifespan of your plugs should not be very different from a stock setup. Which brings us back to the whole point of this mod. You want gains, you need to set your voltage a lot higher than 13.6v, which naturally will push the envelope of certain electrical components like ignition coils and spark plugs. So in that sense, you will be wearing out your plugs sooner than normal with this mod.
As to how much the lifespan of the plugs will be shortened, I really have no idea. Many factors contribute to this. In any case, you will know it when your car feels weak and starts misfiring during high end. When that happens, check out your plugs and change them out.
