Looks cool, I know it reduces HC, but what about Nox, wouldn't that increase cylinder temps?

If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is...

which is why i'd like to do a real world test.... they have dyno graphs on their site, but who says they are honest? if the president sends me a pair, i'll do a pull with stock plugs, and a pull less than a minute later with their plugs...


if its the real deal, i'm sure we will sell a ton of them here...

Phat man,

I am looking forward to your test. I assume that you will be using new stock plugs to make the comparision, am I right?

Many of these tests compare a new "super" plug against old worn out ones, with predictable results. Not suggesting that you might be planning on doing that, of course.

Stock spark plug installation is already a pain and installing those would be even more fun.

Something about them doesn't sit right with me. Isn't there a reason our stock plugs are kept at that amp spec? If increasing the amps to the plugs increases performance and emissions, why wouldn't it be oem? Even if they are as advertised, I bet it decreases the life of your motor.

Also, they increase the height of the spark plug by 2 inches. Anyone think that will fit on the rear cylinder of an xb?

LOL - already been there and done that - you have to rejet as well or you'll be to lean - with the capacitor there is practically no space as well after install - read a very tight fit - I had to carve a bit of tank insulation off to make it fit. Also the plug they use is the old HD 6r12 heat range, so you'd have to step up and change that out to the current 10r12 range as well. Blew my motor with those -lol.

dyno shows more than a 10rwhp gain over stock on a "V-twin" harley.

too good to be true.

IMHO:
You can light a flammable liquid/fumes with a small spark or C4. It still burns the same.
