   Go back to your Denso URL and read what it says. I quoted from that page.

   But exagerated it's claim by stating they added a rediculous amount of   
   horsepower to the engine.   
      
   Had the report said that those plugs added 7.5hp, it would have been as   
   I might have expected, but 750hp isn't made by adding those plugs to the   
   system.
