If I put a set of these on my stock 5sfe will it do anything power wise? 1-2 hp maybe? What about in conjuction with new spark plugs, and my hypergrounding? Just wondeirng if its worth $150 . Thanks.
Only 10,000 miles! Are you serious? That's to rich for my blood then. Normal ones last around 100k at least don't they? Whats the reason for the short life?
So are you trying to say they are benificial, but at the cost of a short life. How much improvement would you say?

I apologize for the late reply... been really busy...
They degrade due to the heat...
But, They are worth it if your trying to squeeze out every single once of horsepower out of your motor... Other than that I would go with NGK or Stock Toyotas and invest in a grounding kit...
Originally posted by Gen3cruiser How much hp increase would you say? 1, 5, 10? Thanks.
In high horsepower force induction motors I've seen a 8whp upgrade.. But on a N/A thats fairly stock no more the 2hp... But over all drivability will be better
Nice, thanks for the input. Well, I may give them a shot. So what happens when they burn out? Is it gradual decay, or do you cylinders just stop firing all of a sudden? Thanks again.
P.S.
How much power will your motor be pumping out when your done?
Go with ngk wires and iridium plugs, these plugs last at least 100k miles and give slightly better gas mileage and throttle response. I've had this combo in my 89 gen 2 for 15k and i love it.
