BS or BS?

Just reading the July Popular Science and saw an ad for these new spark plugs. Here's a link.

Just thought I'd collect some opinions. At $25 a pop, that's $150 plus shipping for spark plugs. I know many enthusiasts here have Denso Iridiums and NGK Iridiums as well as the multitude of platinum plugs, quad plugs, etc. Seems people tend to swear by the Iridiums which I think can be had for about half the price of these beasties and last twice as long(allegedly). My overall point is that I have slightly over 100K on the engine and so it's (past) due for plugs. I don't know if they had been replaced prior or what. I was having reservations before shelling out $12-13 per plug for Iridiums, but, I have a very strict policy about only putting parts back in the vehicle that are the best I can get. My question is: Do you think these are BS(Bu\\$h!t) or BS(Better Spark)?

I guess you need to weight the value equation of whether these plugs are measurably better than the Iridiums. I'm digging the NGKs in my VX. Maybe they are in the middle of BS and BS. Maybe they're some better s#!t...

I just wonder how true the FAQ's section is. They maintain that by using these wonderful new gadgets, you will save enough fuel to recoup the costs. With today's current gas prices I can see that happening, even at a very small amount saved. But I wonder if it would be a perceptible, measurable amount, otherwise how would you know? Sounds a little like The Emperors New Clothes theory. Maybe I'll get them and be our guinea pig.

Do a goggle serach to see if anyone else has used these. Maybe an epinion is lurking around on them. Or a review from a auto mag or consumer report.

On the other hand I have always wondered how these worked in comparsion to these and Iridiums.

That is pretty interesting about the 360 plugs. It would definitely eliminate the "post shadow" of the plug so you would get a more even, better distributed burn. On the plugs I posted, we'll have to wait and see for the results, they don't begin to ship until the 18th of this month, so reviews won't be out for at least awhile afterwards. I just wonder how much is gimmick and hype, versus real world performance.

Stick with the iridium plugs. They are working for you at something like %99.99927 efficiency... You would have to drive a very long way to recoup the difference in cost, and they will have no performance gains at all, that you will be able to feel any way.

i vote hell no. a website of graphics and colorful charts that don't really tell you anything... plus what ignites 99.9999% of your fuel/air mixture is the fuel/air mixture next to it. I don't see how these can hurt (since they're just a spark plug with a capacitor) but i wouldn't try to justify it with power or mpg increases. the only graphic that they had that said anything was that the actual explosive pressure was higher at the point of ignition. assuming these plugs are actually capable of making gas into super gas, you're seals are made for specific tolerances.

then again i could be wrong. i would love to hear a real-world review, but for my $, i'll be sticking to the iridiums. it's a quality plug.
