I'm not going to click the link, I don't need to.
Magic spark plugs are not the ticket to big power.
Although it is possible that they did gain power with just a spark plug swap, there is most likely a LOT more to it than that. For instance: the NGK's they tested against were not gapped properly (out of box). Too large a gap on a boosted application can result in low power by "blowing out the spark" from cylinder pressure.
But, if you like, go ahead and spend the $100+ for your Brisk spark plugs and install them on your LS1. You might see 2rwhp.

I read though that site, and really find it hard to believe, and would have to call BS on that, They might of added a couple of ponies compared to crappy or fouled out plugs. But ALOT of people on here run standard NGK's for $1.78 a plug opposed to platnum or irridiums that can run you at least 10 bux a plug, as long as there properly gapped your not going to see 40 HP
Even better:
May 05 GMHTP, Brisk spark plug test at Quick Time Performance:
2000 LS1 Camaro with minor bolt-ons with fresh NGK TR-55s: 324.9HP/328.1lb/ft
Swapped plugs while on dyno: 328.2HP/328.5lb/ft

While looking into these last Winter, I found that the Brisk plugs seemed to have added horsepower to forced induction set ups more than on naturally aspirated engines. So....... I put some in my other car (supercharged 4 banger & a 1/2 price test). Didn't dyno the car, but, did run it @ the track several times & generally ET's & trap speeds were a bit less on average than w/ the NGK's. Yah, could have been driving, weather conditions....etc., but, bottom line is that there was no signifigant change & zero improvement.

Not to stray too far off topic, but I didnt want to start a new thread and this thread popped up on my search of NGK plugs... Ok I went to get a price quote on some things today so I can pick them up in a few weeks before I put the car up for the winter. One of those things being NGK plugs. They assistant at O'Rileys was telling me that NGK plugs shouldnt be used in T/As but only forign cars. He said our cars would perform worse with them. I know theres a plethora of people on this site using NGKs and I was wondering where he got his info and if someone could clear all this up for me. Id appreciate it. Thanks

Just say "I want 8 NGK 3195's. K THX BYE." and be done with it.
I have a set of Brisk plugs! I payed about 80 dlls for them about two years ago. I can't tell you if I gained any power, but everytime that I check the #1 plug it still looks great. The center electrode is HUGE and is made of silver if I'm not mistaken. Oh well, sorry if I can't contribute more to your post, but I can tell you that I've been very happy with mine.

Next time someone tells you something like that look around like your looking for a sign. When he gives you an odd look or asks you what you are looking for tell him that you thought you were in an auto parts store, not a bad advice store. Then tell him the brand and part number you need. If he can't locate parts by brand and number without resorting to the application info in the computer, ask for a manager.
Maybe he wanted to upsell some garbage high dollar Bosch Platinum +4s
Well said!

Tell the dumbass you want 8 of the NGK part number 3195 (TR55's stocking number IIRC). I hat when "car guys" bash the counter people for having an opinion, when you can't manage to tell him what you want outright.

I did what you had already stated but I didnt get the answer I was expecting and I just wanted to clarify with some more experienced people on here. But I never bashed the guy or gave any impression he wasnt an intelligent person so you can take it easy...

Your right, I did get his opinion when I didnt ask for it, but I didnt bash him for it though. His opinion was contradicting so all I wanted to do was confirm it, like marc did a few posts earlier. Thats all I wanted

The problem is alot of older people that were into cars when they were younger and kinda fadded out of the hobby have a mentality, that imports and foreign parts are slow and cant be used and are not as good as domestic parts such as AC delco. Not their fault but thats the way it was back in the day. Perfect example is my dad, fadded outa the whole racing thing in the late 70's and he will NOT buy a NGK plug simply b/c its a foreign company and believes that A/C delco's are better being a GM product. Even when I told him the majority of companies used NGK plugs b/c they work great, it didnt matter he had that opinion for the past 30 years and will have it probally til the day he dies. Not saying its true but thats how alot of people think, some people just dont like change
