Don't really believe the claims (like many any other "performance" oil filters, etc.), but its definitely an interesting concept. What does everybody think? $25 a plug...WOW.

light a pale of oxygenated fuel on fire with a match, then use a zippo lighter. Is the lighter better? Yes. Is the explosion any more robust? No.
Given this isn't a perfect analogy since you want full burn in a combustion chamber - but it's not going to do anything noticeable.

When I was young (1960's) JC Whitney offered "A new sparkplug technology called the 'Fire Injector'". The primary benefit this plug had was that it transferred money from your wallet to the manufacturer's. I've seen that add. It is all hyperbole, as you probably suspected. The current single-tip spark plugs are as good as it gets, and it has been that good for 100 years now.

If this stuff was worth something, it would have been created a LONG time ago. Hey...at least these guys have a spot next to the Tornado in the JC Whitney catalog in their future.

Hahahah!

You beat me to it!

I was going to ask him if JC Whitney was selling that plug cause that would be all the more reason not to buy one.
Not that I would anyway...

I saw that in an ad the other day. My first thought was NOT "how much would it help" because I just knew it was a money making ploy, but it was "how much does this fancy looking junk cost?" The ad didn't say. 25$, no thanks, I will stick to the Motorcraft SP 450 for the 90, SP 493 for the 04, and Autolite 45 or Motorcraft 420's for my 351 windsor.

Tried and true, I've never had a problem with any of those plugs, and I will stick with them. Shows how much I believe in the motorcraft and autolite plugs when I know part numbers off the top of my head for all 3 Mustangs huh?

Id imagine properly indexing a plug would yield better results.
