Nothing is wrong with them, they just arent worth the money. All that plug has is a firing electrode thats notched a bunch of times... doesnt mean more sparks are gonna jump the gap. I know the propaganda behind them and I dont buy it, it basically goes that all these 'points' provide easier paths for the spark to jump. In my opinion, a properly gapped clean plug spark is no weaker than any of these gimmic plugs. Use the money you save from buyin regular delcos to buy some indexing washers and make some REAL horsepower, not propaganda

Well put Pablo. Expensive plugs are just that and nothing more. Just because it looks cool and costs more doesn't mean its better. The best plug wires I've seen are the 8.5 mm MSD Super Conductors. You can't beat 'em for the money.
