No, not snake oil. I question if they are worth $25 each though...

IMO. But I think there are some people on here with them. My question is do you notice a difference without forced induction?

They showed some dyno results on SCC and Import Tuner. It did wonders on 300ZXTT, but nothing on Civics. We have the same direct ignition system as 300ZX so I figure it's worth a try. There aren't many affordable upgrades we can do on the Maxima's ignition system. I was planning on replace my stock plugs anyway. Stock plugs cost around $9-$15 each. These denso iridium are $12-$13 each. They are from Japan and they are the newest thing in high performance Spark plugs. My car runs alot better now. My car used to have this hesitation problem. It would not rev up quickly when I stomp on the gas. The problem is gone now. I'll be doing some dyno testing with these plugs in the future. I don't have anything new since my last dyno. We'll see if it's snake oil or not, but from my butt dyno. It seems to be an improvement.

plugs

I have recently added these plugs and the car seems to idle better and run smoother. It's hard to tell how much of a difference in performance they make because I added an intake at the same time and it seems like night and day with better throttle response and much smoother acceleration. The car seems noticeably quicker. Also, you can get them for $13 something from A & H motorsports, don't pay $25 a piece for them.

I've been looking at them too. They have them at groupbuycenter.com for 13.95 each with free shipping, just FYI.
