Iridium Spark Plugs
#5
Someone at the Norcal meet was mentioning that the Torquemaster and Denso sparkplugs actually produced dyno-proven power. Something to do with even detonation creating a more forceful explosion (???). I don't remember exactly what he was saying, but maybe Hermosa does?

Yeah, torquemaster, splitfire, Bosch +4, etc, are all based on the theory that multiple electrodes will allow a stronger flame kernel and therefore more complete combustion, and it makes sense to me, I could see them being worth a couple hp, I couldn't feel a difference though and I have a very well-calibrated butt-dyno, but on a boosted GE, the NGK 3330 seems to be the way to go....
P.S. - The Iridium plugs have only one electrode, but it's absolutely tiny, the material allows it to be made smaller and still be conductive and easy to 'light off'
