Been reading a lot about them lately....Might as well wait til someone takes the plunge.... Well have to rely on the ones made for 350z, since they wont know what the hell u may be talking about when u order for RA

Import tuner teated a set on a 4g63 and found like 6hp and torque. I think its the most recent import tuner. There not that expensive I'd say there worth a shot. We should demand ASM to test a set on there new x. Lol

interesting, but I agree with kreepa. I'm gonna let one of you guys try it out and let us know that's a lot of money and risk for unproven technology

hey xxxevo8xxx where abouts in MA are you located? If you still have these on hand mind if I test them out sometime and give the low-down to these guys? I'll give them back right after... I'll even compensate if you want. Just doing a bit of research to benefit the others.

Assuming that you're talking about the same set/fitment that this thread is talking about though.

I broke 35k recently and am due for new plugs, so I'm interested if you and bruce could test them out. $100 is a bit on the high-end for a set of plugs given most RA owners' applications, but since I'm fairly clueless about the differences between plugs, I'd like to hear what you guys have to say I'm not boosting or spraying, so cold-running plugs are not too big of a deal, but for the price difference, if they give even a modest performance benefit, it'd be worth it... but I'm not one to be a guinea pig since I wouldn't be able to properly intemperate the results, anyway

how long have these been around? Like with any new technology, longevity is always a concern when going against something as old as time that's proven to work at least well enough.

I am in Westford. If someone wants a set i will give them to them for cost as long as they are going to test them on a dyno. The test i did was a 6.1 hemi. We did pulls with the factory plugs then pulls with the Pulstars. The factory plugs made more power. The Hemi has 16 plugs in it.

meh, I'd be more concerned with the technology failing. spark plug cores are very simple for a reason, don't you think? you not only have all the normal failure potential for your plug now you have added circuitry to a piece that sits directly on top of burning fuel sounds like a very harsh environment for an unproven technology.

not really a safe bet, my advice,
stick with stocks when it comes to something like spark plugs.
