Is there any performance to be had in upgrading the ignition syste, at I'll. I'd do it, but not for 2 hp.

i've heard the densos add 5-20 fwhp (i know, hard to swallow for spark plugs) and that with big wider msd performance wiring should add quite a bit...i'm thinking 10 + hp all together...the only problem is that the densos at the cheapest are $12 each x6 = $72 and the msd wires are $80 at checker...total around $150 plus it takes about an hour or more to install it all...i'll probably do it sometime down the line when my stock sparks ware out a little more

$150 for 10hp isn't bad. Look at the price on a y-pipe. I'd do it. Can anyone confirm these numbers?

Write a table in html (thats what I use with borders set to 0). You also want to have no extra line-breaks or spaces in the html or you will get a lot of empty space above your sig.

As far as fonts, use the SIZE= propterty of the FONT tag.

Splitfires are very good fishline sinkers! They are even cheaper made than Champions. They have a bridge to sell you cheap too.

Yup... We have a direct ignition system. No plug wires.

Ugh.. No freakin' spark plug is gonna give you 10hp. There are no ignition upgrades(that work) for the maximas that have the direct ignition systems. 92-94se and ALL VQ powered maximas. If 10hp was possible from spark plugs I would have did it years ago. It's actually ALOT easier to LOSE hp from choosing the wrong plug. Just buck up and get the factory ngk plats from courtesy nissan. Anything else is a bad bet. NOTE: plugs for the 5-gens are at least a 60k interval change.
