Default Another gimick plug??

www.weaponxperformance.com

$11 a plug?
Someone with more electrical knowledge than I want to break it down?


As I always think, I believe they are gimicks, and will continue to run TR55's.
Just curious.

I believe NGK has an iridium plug. I would love to see an actual "back to back dyno test" with various spark plugs. Assuming the coolant temps are the same.

Same.

If I had the $$ for dyno time, this company offered me a free set of plugs to dyno test.
It would cost me a few hours on a dyno though, and I can't see justifying it right now to see a 1RWHP gain.

More looking for info. I know how spark works, but why wouldn't these?

Alright.

They upped their offer.
Will cover the majority of dyno time as well as supply their plugs.

Going to see if I can set this up.

I will.

If they actually add more than 4-5 RWHP. Any given day, the dyno could create that change.



EDIT:
After some research, I will NOT be trying this.
Scam...

Well, I certainly DO NOT trust plugs like the PulStar.
To me, they are gimicks.

Originally talking to the guy on another site, it appeared legit and like he knew his ****.
Well, it didn't take too long for the guy to start talking himself stupid.

If it seems too good to be true....it is.

I hear ya man, if these things were as great and did as much as they proclaim, they would be a little more common.

extra special whizz-bang unobtanium coated spark plugs are totally unnecessary. Check out the Turbo Buick crowd - guys pushing 30+psi running 8's still using Autolite copper plugs...they actually recommend against using anything special
