   Change is Good   
      
   It's no wonder. 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.

   but they still state "ADDED 750-hp" (emphasis mine) which is quite wrong...
