I asked drag racer Bill Oakey who owned American Auto Parts if Golden Lodge spark plugs ($24 each ... They were pink and gold and had 4 electrodes around a centre ring) would increase the power of my fully worked Holden 6 ... Bill raced an alcohol dragster that ran two blowers ... one on top of the other ... He told me ... "You can light a bucket of gas with a spark OR a blow torch ... but the results will be the same ... I run good old plain Champion plugs in our dragster ... we have noticed zero increase in speed or elapsed times on the track with ANY fancy plugs " ... The only thing that has proven beyond doubt to increase power is multiple spark discharge ignitions ... and that's only because they get extra goes at relighting flames that snuff out ...
