Totally. Who would actually believe that this is different or special with this plug?:

Very resistant to fouling from the 2stroke, also super easy to clean!
The "perma-gap" plug. I totally agree....and would add that the spark is totally exposed to the combustion chamber/charge. To me, it seems like a perfect design.

I LOOK AT IT THIS WAY: BASED ON THE INCREASES IN hp:

PLUGS 10%,
TRANS OIL 10%,
REAR FLUID 15%
INTAKE FINS, 20%
SPOILER 10%
FUEL ADDITIVE 15%

I STARTED WITH 540 HP AND NOW SHOULD HAVE 972 HP, ? , BUT STILL RUN 10'S, MUST BE THE RESISTANCE OF THE HEADLIGHTS - WILL LOOK FOR INCREASED HORSEPOWER HEADLIGHTS.............

I've seen this before. Have you used fresh synthetic grease made by 20 virgins for the muffler bearings?
