I'm no expert. As a first-class skeptic, however, I'd have to see a lot of other independent reviews before I would buy it. Check Popular Mechanics, et al to see what they say about them.

At $25 each I don't care how good they are.

AS soon as I get a few bucks , I'll probably give them a try.. I need the Busa remaped anyhow, So maybe map it without and with these plugs just to see if there is a difference.. I'll call the company tomorrow and have a talk with'em..

I doubt there is any advantage on a coil on plug engine like our 'busas.

"Well"...my concern is if the engine dynamics are designed for a certain "timed-combustion" rate...where does this fit in with original ignition timing / fuel mapping. I think we should get Johhnycheese or someone who has access to a Busa and a Dyno to see what the "measured" end-results look like......I see the logic in the design and anywhere I could possibly "lower" a components operating temperatures, I would do it.

Then again, I'm also wondering how long that ground strap's gonna last before it starts to compromise....

Just thoughts....

These "spark enhancers" have been around since the 40's Principal is simple enough, increase resistance and voltage goes up.

They have just pumped a resistor into the plug body... it will sure uncover any weak secondary ignition wires... (save your money for something useful IMO)

Correct me if I am wrong but wont running a "hotter" spark plug in a normal engine eventually result in piston failure?
