Re: sparkplugs



Kevin and Group, Funny you should bring up the intresting 
conversation about spark plugs for the De Lorean. I just got my Bosch 
shipment into day with all 5 different heat ranges for plugs. HR6DC 
for the purest, HR7DC little hotter, HR8DCX,HR9DC,and HR10DCX the 
hottest, all of these are $2.50ea and will be on the web site soon. 
I'm glad to see someone experminting with Plat +4 as Robert did. I 
talked to Bosch tech department about the plat + 4 and the De Lorean 
he said that Bosch makes no claims to anything about performance, but 
he said it's like beauty, it's in the eyes of the beholder. As a 
jobber for Bosch I will have a price on them tomorrow and it will be 
about 1/2 of what stores are.The info will be on the web site in 
about a week. New catalog info and specifications to are comming and 
I will put that on the site also. I also agree with David about quick 
bolt on performance cheap solutions, but,but,but 4 tip spark plugs 
have been around for years and a lot of people including me believe 
in them. If they didn't have some value to them, then why would Bosch 
build them. Even though there is 1000's of volts going to the tip of 
the plug, electricity follows the least line of resistance. Couple 
that with a new coil and Robert may even see a better performance or 
more stable performance. I to would like to see better performance 
from the car w/o spending $1000.00's. Gene Snow a race car driver 
told me years ago that for the money, an exhaust system got more HP 
for the dollars. Grant you, this was in the 70's.
Showing my age.
