$24.95 each, expensive for spark plugs. I'd like to see more tests, if the 5HP is true.

import tuner did a spark plug test and found small gains on the more expensive plugs. if you run a turbo or super high compression then you could possilby expect to see more.

I would like to see the full dyno and then make the avg. they could of placed top with the plugs over lowest stock. so unless seeing 3 an 3 its hard to say.

Aren't the stock plugs iridium? If so, they'll retail for $15-$18 each anyway. (The last time I bought iridiums, my discount price was $12/plug.)

I have seen these claims for a while now, but have never seen any independent tests. I am just as confused that no one has ever tested them as I am with whether they work or not.

given our engines have a bigger dispacemet than a g35. We should see even more gains by a stronger spark. Say +20 whp!!!!!! Sah-weet!!!!!

Silly me. I always thought MIS fires were from premature ignition.... Hence the higher octane gas.

If you use this product with the magnetic gas ionizer that you put on your fuel line I could see 50 whp gains and +3-5 mpg gains!

What about the flux capacitor?
