Direct hit spark plugs I gotta friend who is coming into cars and he had a couple of these and said
"yeah these are where the power is " so I was wondering if anyone was running them or if they work better?

you're car is really not going to know the difference it will spark efficiently or not. Some plugs last longer than others. just pick up the tried and true like NGK, Bosch etc.

someone should dyno the ngk's the bosch and those gapped the same on a same for same lsx motor. Someone that has some money to burn. It would make a sweet right up and I would like to know if they work not saying i would buy them.

I call bullshit. I don't see one single dyno on their page. If it really did something they would have imperical evidence vs. "WOW it feels so much faster!". 1/2 the people out there could drop their car off at LMP performance, leave and get a burger, come back and see a tech 1/2 under their car, go wait, come back, and even if all that tech did under there was spit-shine the oil-pan if he told them "She should really pull harder in the upper end now!!!" and charged them $500, they would feel an increase. It is called the placebo effect.
(EDIT, not that LMP would ever lie or do this, I just used them as an example b/c most people would get a placebo effect if a "big name shop" told them that.)
