I say it's a scam until someone like Turbo or TPR run a real objective review on it. It's not like power magically appears.

The only thing you REALLY want out of a plug is all the power INSTANTANEOUSLY. If it's a prolonged spark it's not going to do you much good. If it was a faster firing spark,it would be much more useful than 20000000x power of infinity spark plugs.

i dont think there's really any delay in how fast the plug sparks. the plug pretty much sparks instantaneously when power is applied to it.

if there was a delay it would really throw tuners off when tuning ignition timing.

No, i'm talking about their advertising. They mention PEAK power. If you could get a plug that puts out a LOT of energy instantaneously, instead of a short duration with a peak power like spark plugs, you'd see better efficiency in the engine, and as a result, more power and fuel economy.

This is the same Principal as the expensive nology plug wires, they have a small capacitor to release all the of energy at once. The nology have been know to cause misfires in FI and high HP applications. When you increase voltage like this, you loose spark duration, which helps burn gas through the entire power stroke. This may help a very small percentage on single coil ignition systems, because the coil only has a short time to recharge before releasing again on the next plug. But with coil on plug you don't have this problem, the stock COP has a LOT of energy.
A friend of mine did back to back dyno runs with like 5 different sets on plug wires on his H22, including the nologys, with no difference over the oem honda wires.
