+1
same ch*t,different version...
electricity is lazy,and WILL NOT fire three electrodes simultaneously...it will take the path of least resistance...
same story with splitfire.or bosch platinum4...marketing gimmick...
all those shows you see on speed or hp channels are just that,advertising and/or publicity

5 hp out of 500 is a 1% change. there is no commercial dyno on earth that can repeat within 4 % and most, like the superflows operate at about 5 to 7 % depending on about 40 different variables.

if the oil temp is different by 10 degrees you get a 1 % change...

so... as far as the scientific validity of the data, it is worth exactly nothing . beyond that, single pull runs are not the way that type of evaluation testing is done. it is done over, perhaps 50 pulls and then averaging the area under all the curves.

and as for the plugs... a spark plug used in formula 1 where the motors cost roughly $ 500,000 each and they would kill their mothers for a single hp ( because more hp = more downforce ) the spark plugs are completely conventional.

shocking , i know... that an infomercial might try to get you to buy something based on fake testing... but just like hair growers and dick englargers and magic belts that will cause you to lose 200 lbs in 3 days, it is simply bullsht.

and you should be smart enough to know that .

Oh. by the way, we do dyno pulls all the time on the same exact engine with no changes and see 5Hp variations within minutes of each other on dyno pulls. It"s just because the muffler bearings loosen up a little and the alternator phase capacitors wear in. Beam me up Scotty!

Lets see , $5000.00 for something with no moving parts is OK but a couple bucks just to try something a little different that may or may not work and i'm an idiot and a buyer of snake oil .
I happened to like the concept of unshrouding the flame kernel and it certainly has not hurt my performance or fuel mileage as proven by me . Wow , step outside some of you guys narrow train of thought and get flamed . Go ahead and have your fun at my expense , i can take it , but i don't think i'm the one that looks foolish here . Here , beam this up .....:party-smiley-004:....:lolhit:...I know these chitty comments were not directed at me but still tire of them .

I am on the snake oil school of thought and lot of these chincy aftermarket things are scam, there are some good ones out there but very few. My feeling is this, if something was so much greater it woul be included in the original equipment. But that also might drive up the price and I realize manufactures do throw the lowest priced acceptable components in things to keep their bottom line down.

Snake Oil aside, no-one has mentioned anything about that monstrous electrode hanging in your combustion chamber. Too much mass for the conduction path, one long ride at speed and those tips will become glow plugs your are looking at guaranteed detonation. Why do you think racing plugs have short electrodes, less mass to hold heat, less chance of detonation. In a car that spends 90% of it's time at 15% load, you might actually see an improvement. But you could take your OEM plug and jump up a heat range and see the same difference.
