I've used them before in a 1991 Camaro I had. They're okay, not bad but not awesome.

They are ok, but the NGKs are as good or better. They have a "v" cut electrode that does the exact same thing. I would trust the NGKs first.

Split-fire the first sparkplug manufactor to take advantage of the iq level of most of America....

2 electrodes = 2 X the sparks right?
wronge...

Basic electronics: electricity always takes the path of least resistance. only one of those 2 electrodes is going to have the least resistance, and that is the ONE spark you are going to get...
now comes the kick in the jock.... because there is 2 taking the space were one would normally be, the electrodes are smaller then the one electrode types... meaning that the ONE spark you do get is less potent...not more....

you want to design a better plug, make the ONE electrode bigger....


that is all...
