Torque masters on a 1987 F-150 302 313,000 miles and man did they make a difference.

Check them out.

www.torquemaster.com


I put them in my 1996 honda when I used to race it. So far the honda has about 80,000 miles on those spark plugs and when I check the spark plugs they still look new. by the way the honda has about 350 HP. Blower / NO2.

They cost about 12.95 each. Little high but they are worth it.

Has anybody else heard about them ?

I went to the website, and these things look really different.
I expected them to look like +4 spark plugs, but I’ve never seen a design like that.
12.95 per plug, I think I’ll stick with my $.99-cent side gapped autolites.
I don’t feel like spending $104 dollars for sparkplugs even though they will probably work really good.

I can't believe all of these new spark plug ideas. Everyone is capitalizing on the advertisments of splitfire. Anyone who would spend 80-100 dollars for plugs needs either has too much money or needs some help. The platinum +4's along with splitfire now are probably the better upper end ones. I agree with madman. I'll stick with 99-1.49 side gapped plugs and spend the savings on something that is really going to increase power. I read a dyno on a yamaha banshee with split fire plugs vs standard plugs. The difference was .7 hp at top end. No difference at all for torque low end! Not worth the money on a v8. A one cylinder maybe!
