QUOTE(DamDirtyApes @ Dec 30, 2004 - 10:05 AM) i have +4s and my car has never run smoother ... [right][snapback]228220[/snapback][/right] I'd bet it would have ran smoother with ANY brand of new plugs FWIW, I believe the theory on mult ground electrodes was it would sort of rotate among them, thinking the last one to fire would be warmer than the others and heat increases resistance, so the spark would jump to the "coldest" ground electrode, now my thoughts on this is I'd like to see them measure it. what difference will a spark make since immediately after you have a controlled burn throughout the combustion chamber? and the incoming fuel charge will cool the same ones the same way every time? seems like it would depend on where each electrode was pointing with the plug tightened. I suppose extra electrodes could actually hinder a burn and hurt perf, maybe this is why they seem to work better in some cars? Indexing the plugs used to be a big deal for serious race engines, took a lot of time to get an engine set up so all the plugs tightened up with the electrodes in the same position in relation to the incoming fuel/air mix. |
