HKS twinpower ignition, is it worth it?

I want to purchase but would like to get some feedback by thoses who have it or have knowledge on this typy of ignition enhancement. I seems like it would give some increase in hp & torque by bumping up the spark quality. If you have it, please tell me where to get for best price.

Also, Is anyone using iridium plugs with their setup? How is its performance? Thanks

leave the ignition alone. you have more than enough from the factory.

the iridoum plugs are not worth it. use the platinum, just like your car came with, or the copper ones (searchy will give a ton of details)

Also the HKS twinpower does absolutely nothing for a maxima.

what does stillen know? i think u might consider it if u running crazy boost, and your spark is getting blown out, but otherwise its just another pretty box under the hood to please 15 year old ricers.

Ignition is useless on our cars. We have guys running over 500hp on stock ignition. Don't waste your money.

So I guess you guys arent recommending this idea I just figured a stronger spark would help increase hp. my bad

As my local engine builder says, "A spark is a spark." I guess hes right. Too bad Stillen claims it adds 4 hp.
