On what pretence? It's a spark plug. The air/fuel mixture doesn't look at the spark plug and think "he's running R5671a spark plugs - I think I'll generate 20kW extra". It's a spark plug - it ignites the air/fuel mixture after it receives a huge jolt of electricity. It's the same size jolt of electricity, irrespective of the type or manufacturer of the spark plug.

It really doesn't matter what number is stamped on the ceramic, as long as the plug is designed to fit the application.

You will be wasting your money, IMHO.

If its the plug I'm thinking they are as cheap as the regular coppers.

I personally didn't notice any difference, if anything it felt a little less punchy but that was most likely in my head. The idea behind the plug I believe is to prevent spark blow out at high combustion pressures.

Grab a set of coppers with a heat range to suit your power and you'll be fine.

I run them in mine but the -8's and indexed.

I will be doing a dyno test back to back with mine once final tune is done to show the difference so will post up after its done

sooty

etc

willing to give this a shot to see if makes any better its jus a pain to keep pulling plugs out and cleaning them

It sounds like a cop out on behalf of the tuner. A safe rich tune is only rich at high loads, and will still be leaner than a factory setup. there is no reason to be running 12:1 afr at cruise, all it does is wreck fuel economy, catalytic converters, emmissions, cylinder bores and spark plugs

mm yeah I have to pull mine out n throw em away every 10 000km because of carbon build up, I think i may have one of the safest tunes on the planet!
