I what do u think in putting those bosh spark plug with 4 points that cost like 6 bucks each, sorry I don't know howare those sparg plugs called.
would it game me some more HP?

 

wops sorry about the bad english, not first lenguage

 

wops i found the info, i should search more instead of asking lol

 

Yeah the search feature definitely helps out, I've found quite a bit of info on what I've had to look for before by running a search.
One more thing bud, instead of adding a new post if you find something or forgot to add something, just click the "edit" button which will allow you to modify your existing post. I don't think it's worth the $6 a plug for the bosch platinum +4 plugs. Invest in some AC delco plugs, you are probably better off.

 

Yep, good ol' AC Delcos are the way to go.

 

Autolites are very good plugs as well...

Those Bosch +4's are a rip off. Completely unnecessary. Someone else mentioned, however, that the +2's are nice for just the reason that they have a good, direct escape path for the spark since the direct center of the plug isn't covered by 1 large electrode, rather centered between 2 smaller electrodes.

While we're on the topic of ignition also....don't buy the Splitfire plugwires either. I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I read those ads.

 

I had some money burning a hole in my pocket, that's why I got the Bosch Platinum +4. Not sure that they make a difference but they are some good looking plugs and they don't have to be gapped.

 

The only reason those plugs feel good to most people at first is because they don't need indexing- there really is no way you can. But they are still shaded from the valves slightly, AND have four obsturctions to the charge instead of one. Use Autolites (regular A/C Declos are bad- but rapid fires burn up as quick as Bosch +4's. Just look at the tiny electrode. And Most of all- index the plugs. It takes time, but will give you better power no matter what plug you run.

 

allright yhanks for the info.


I'll try the autolites, i guess those arew sheep.

 

The "gimmicks" always crack me up, but I've never seen an ad for a splitfire wire. What do they claim?

 

accel plugs are great, they last forever and I have never had a set or 1 foul.

Wish I could getthem for my bike. I can foul a NGK is seconds.

The Splitfire wires, if I remember right, claim better spark energy due to their 'dual conductive paths'. The wires are 2 conductive cores twisted around eachother.

 

Too bad electricity always takes the shortest path!

That's why people thought the splitfire plugs were junk; they thought the spark "split" into two. Uh-uh... no way; Splitfire never even claimed that for the plugs. They claimed less shrouding of the spark, due to the opening in the split-electrode. Sort of like the effect that a cut plug would generate, without the longevity issue.

 

From a Splitfire plugwire ad in Summit:

"In tests, Splitfire's Dual Mag Wire showed 92% lower resistance than stock carbon core wires. Splitfire uses two wires instead of a single, equivalent-sized wire, greatly reducing resistance and getting more power to your plugs."

 

What is the price on them suckers???

 

$59.99 for most V8's.
