(the Turbnado looks good too... and only $9.95 for 35 HP) ;-)
I agree that copper is one of the best 'old school' plugs you can buy... they are tried and tested... I used regular autolites in my T-Type, and ran 12.10's so yes they work....
I too am skeptical of these plugs, and that's why I'm trying them... as long as they don't hurt, I'm willing to be a guinea pigs for these younger guyz.... so they don't have to waste there money.... but only time will tell...
Many are using Iridium and platinum, and are very happy.... and now nickel alloy...
One thing I will tell you is that apart from the three prongs, the center electrode is HUGE compared to other sparkplugs, the platinum plugs that came out are like pinheads compared to an eraser head...
So while copper is a better conductor of electricity, nickel alloy on a 50 to 1 scale ( just an exageration but close when compared to a platinum tip ), will probably flow electricity just a effectively as copper....
Now I'm no scientist or electrical engineer (Alvin), but It looks good, and I'm willing to give it a try.... and the heat range is now one step colder... two birds with one stone...
I'll let you guys know how they do, and I'll make some Dashhawk passes and see what the numbers tell me ...
Anyway it's my money, and I'm bored, and $50 won't kill me...
