   What do you guys think of these new spark plugs they have the ability to improve horsepower torque nd improve mpg due to the increase in the power nd density of the spark created....??
   
   check the link below to read about them..

   If every other spark plug going wasn't capable of burning almost all of the fuel injected the car would run permanently rich and cause all sorts of problems and run like a bag of shit in all honesty. Common sense rules no - the plugs on the link will make no difference to overall power.

   Actually just clicked the link just out of curiosity....
   
   'Electrical energy from the engine’s power coil is stored in the built-in capacitor.'
   
   Think they're overlooking that the coil is basically just a capacitor, or power amplifier depending what you want to call it. From what they've written the only way they're any different from any other plug is the built in capacitor, something essentially the car already has before the plug. Making it completly pointless.
   
   I'm also thinking.... The standard coil has a permanent power supply making the storage and release of amplified power possible, these plugs will be receiving intermitant power making it impossible to amplify the power any more than the coil already supplies. If anything they would create a weaker spark due to the extra resistance of the capacitor built into them...

   They may pick u up a few bhp,torque and mpg but it will only be whats being lost due to worn plugs not performing as they should do.
   Just like multi electrode plugs dont give you more sparks.
   They just give a more consistant spark for a longer period and last longer.

    I use split V ones, they do the job well enough, and are only like £15 for 4.

    LOL!!
    
    Do these plugs come with a free ECOTEK valve and electric-motor-turbocharger??
    
    HEHE
    
    don't be sucked in.
