So then, with all the spark plug talk going on, what are the best plugs to use on my 4.SLOW? I haev a 99 WJ Intake, header, full 2.5" exhaust.......
BTW, I made this thread back in 4/2011 regarding spark plugs.... A must look!!
So I'm not here to start anything, I jsut wanted to post up what is going on another forum that I visit everyday. Granted it isn't jeep related, it's related to my Trans Am (LSx motors) but hey we all use plug wires...
So Granatelli (GMS) made a thread claiming that their wires have a 0 ohm drop when you measure their wire on a voltmeter. Here is how they advertise their wires..
[*]Direct OEM replacement, exceeds OEM specifications, OBD-II computer safe
[*]Increase power to the spark plug up to 400% over stock
[*]Customers have reported up to 15 hp (normally aspirated) & 35 hp (s/c, turbo, & nitrous). Average gains on an otherwise stock motor are 5 hp N/A and 12 hp to 15 hp with factory forced induction
[*]0 Ohm resistance, no RFI / EMI interference thanks to patented protector ring
[*]Patented* design works with all fuel injection systems, street cars and race cars
[*]Solid stainless connector cable with stainless snap lock spark plug connectors
[*]High temperature silicone boots, 8MM jacket with fiberglass-reinforced braid resists temperatures up to 500°F (1200°F. boots optional).
[*]Ideal for use with aftermarket headers and/or turbocharger systems
[*]Includes all necessary hardware
[*]Over 600 fitments!
* Granatelli O ohm wires are patent protected by United States Patent number 7,185,622. This patent covers our unique method of producing ignition wires of extremely low resistance while maintaining very high noise suppression. The benefit of this invention is that full electrical energy from the ignition source is transmitted to the spark plug. The end result of the application of this method is increased horsepower, torque and fuel economy.
So a lot of people on the website bashed him calling BS and started a ruckus. So all GMS did was back his product up. He posted 3 videos of just a wire swap on a Vette, 03/04 Cobra and a Ford GT40 where they all gained +10 RWHP and +15 RWTQ. This was on back to back dynos with hardly any cool down time, in fact they made sure the operating temp was the same as the first run so there was no variations.
Here is a video that GMS posted using an MSD board to test ohm drop. There was 8 wires tested, all stated in the video and displayed. #2 being wire bing tested was magnecore wires
very bad.. They experienced an 1600 ohm drop..
So the purpose of me making this thread is, again not start any problems, but to get eduacated.
With that being said, I am using Magnecore wires bc I was sold on how awesome they were, then I saw the tests.. And it wasn't good for them. So here's the video
Thanks guys for listening
