Default Spark plug review...

Well, I have always been a firm believer in NGK. Never wanted to change to platiunum for reason being that copper is a better conductor. This dyno has pointed me in the other direction. Check it out, Bosch plugs out performed NGK by +2 ponies of TQ. This however is just the dyno on a D16 engine, will it out perform for my engine too. I would like to disscuss this topic - in depth. Can this dyno prove true for most honda engines? Thanks...

2 ft lbs, big whoop. Even slight atmospheric differences can cause changes in peak numbers.

Big whoop? Haha, I guess you're right but...

Two horses' for different brand plugs, that is a good gain for such a small upgrade. What you say is ture, but I am looking for all perfect performance parts, just narrowing everything down if you know what I mean...

i would not look into spark plugs as a way to gain horsepower, but as a way to keep horsepower. If they are holding up fine, then stick with that brand. me? i use NGK's all the time, copper's, not plat's cause plat's burn hotter, thus making it easier for detonation.
