| Lsg Brisk Spark plugs I ordered these today I will tell you if I get better fuel mileage and horsepower. I have heard nothing but good about them. |

| welcome to the site: hope those work out for you, though I do not see how it is possible, but i hope you get what you are looking for. How much do those things run? |

| They are expensive $70. If you Google people have got good results using them. 10% to 12% Thats 6 bucks every fuel up. Lsg and Brisk spark plugs are used in Lamborghini 's and Ferrari's. I doubt those makers would put junk in their motors. They have a 30 day money back guarantee. I am a newbie first post. I blog a little on FTE but particular mods have made me and blog about projects elsewhere like here. I hope I fit in. |

| You will fit in fine. Good group of people here. Welcome again. You post will start up decent conversation. Interesting the claim regarding the Lambo's and Ferrari using them. Are these OEM? Champion claims to be the OEM plug for both, although so does NGK. How funny is that. Even Autolite has replacement plugs for just about all Ferraris except some of the Dinos that used either a "Golden Lodge", or a "Marchal" plug. I like spark plugs, and i do quite a bit of testing on several different types and have found that the vehicles that obtain drastic increases in power and efficiency were all vehicles that were in such poor mechanical condition that just installing a standard plug would have made it run that much more efficient. I have yet to see any un-biased reports that state the contrary. A poorly maintained vehicle that is already strugggling with tired and worn, or poorly maintained plugs would seem like a new car with any new set of plugs. I do not see where a plug can make any considerable difference if the voltage is not increased. Placing a ground around the electrode seems like it would only shroud the spark kernal and prevent it from burning efficiently. I also did not see a veriety of heat ranges from this manufacturer. hard to believe they have a magic "one size fits all" heat range. Maybe though. Perhaps these need to be tested too. Again I hope they can prove my scepticism wrong |

| i would like to see proof of these claims. not discouraging you, but i just don't beleive it is physically possible for a spark plug (at least a plug alone)to do that. plugs also have a lot to do with being matched with the engine application (hot and cold, etc..). for instance, i run Bosch in my truck, and nuthin but NGK in my honda

| And I get misfire codes all the time in newer fords where people installed bosch plugs. Usually a P0300.. random misfire. Go figure. |

| spark plugs are like cold air kits, if there was considerble gains from a 70 buck swap it would have been noticed somewhere in the millions of dollars GM spends engineering the vehicle. In todays competitive truck market, every horsepower and MPG matters, and if GM could have spent an extra 70 bucks for 10-12% gain in either, they would have. I guarantee you they have extensive research into spark plugs/ ignition componets and deemed it not worth it.
