Contemporary electronic ignition systems have made spark plug       replacement in everyday passenger vehicles a thing of the past. And when a       racer or high-performance engine builder has a misfire problem, the first       thing he does is to add a more powerful ignition system. That's about to       change. When the word gets out about the new Denso Iridium Power spark plugs       that added 750-hp to Kenny Duttweiler's 450-cid twin-turbocharged Ford,        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^       engine builders and tuners will gain more respect for the lowly spark plug.       [/QUOTE]               TW> The Report was about the Denso plug being the least likely to Misfire        TW> at high boost pressures.              but they still state "ADDED 750-hp" (emphasis mine) which is quite wrong...              --        )\/(ark - remove .my.foot to email me, capiche?               * Origin: news://news.wpusa.dynip.com | acct reqd to post (1:3634/12)    |
