Default DIY mod to copper spark plugs to gain 22% increase in torque and fuel economy?!

Hi Everyone,

Something that may spark your interested. A DIY mod:

Cost?: drill bits, copper plugs, time and maybe indexing washers for spark plugs

Benefit? author claims 22% increases in torque suitably better fuel economy by reshaping existing copper plugs into pencil torches spark plugs to shoot out ***** of light and see complete combustion of fuel. Check it out at:

Details: http://fueleconomytips.com/content/view/31/2/

Along the same sort of line too are the Brisk and Haloplugs
* Brisk plugs:
http://ontop.nu/brisk/brisk.htm
- produces a BALL of lightning!!

* Halo plugs:
http://www.haloplug.com , benefits seen:
- Reported on 7th November 2005, of Police cars showing 11.5% improvement on gas mileage.
- Reduction in automotive pollutants such as hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and NOx (Oxides of Nitrogen).

Disclaimer: no affiliation with any of these manufacturers. Just sharing some options people have in how they choose to run their cars.

That's better than my magnetic cyclonification fuel enhancer. You guys are so narrow-minded.

A witch! A WITCH! Ban him... BAN HIM!

And how do we know he is a witch?

He's got a witch's nose! (He turned me into a newt!... I got better) BAN HIM! BAN HIM!

Ok... I thought I could have some fun with this post... but this troll isn't worth it and needs to be taken out. I already put him on my ignore list, but even his thread titles are a load of crap! Go play on RoadFly!

Randy... Smoke him!

What's with all of these spark plug gimmicks?

Once the spark is made, the fire need not be lit elsewhere. It's not like the explosion is going to prevent the rest of the mixture from igniting....

Thumbs up

Whatever happened to that splitter off the fuel pump into the muffler with the manual ignitor
Afterburner thread? Now that was one hot item!
After the minor garage fire and replacing the rear bumper cover I realized I should have sprung for the optional $6.45 spigot valve and the pop-up sprinkler head with the directional flat -edge, spray nozzle $11.22 for more concentrated boost. The radiator drain plug (get the brass one as the plastic one's have a short duty cycle) on the bottom of the muffler worked well in leiu of the spigot valve regulator for those on a budget, but it gets a little to exciting for those of us who like to park on the edge of the road in the grass while watching a sunset. Trust me on this one! Absolutely EVERYONE
had a comet er...comment on this modification. It really lights up the night sky along the dry I-20 rangelands here in West Texas. And I believe I saw in the news where it had recently been installed on a sHARk out in California but for some reason a report of a forest fire hogged all the news.
Go figure!
I can also attest that my 928 went faster than it had ever gone before after igniting this novel approach to afterburner technology in the grass with 20 knot gusts.
Try one! Everyone in town will be talking about you...

I don't think he needs to be banned. He just needs all his threads moved automatically to the OT or abyss, because not a single one has had anytrhing to do with 928's.
