Default Nology spark plugs

Has anybody used these?

I found them in my summit racing catalog in the sport compact section

Up to 137% more spark

Nology says these Silverstone spark plugs will put out up to 137% more spark power than other plugs. The secret? The plugs' center electrodes are made from silver; which offers the best electrical and thermal conductivity of any metal. That means greater spark power, along with increased horsepower and cleaner combustion. Other features include a black aluminum oxide insulator and a multi-rib current leakage barrier to prevent arc-over.

Blah blah blah.....do you have problems with the current NGK's? If you dont, id stick with the stock plugs. With a stock ignition system (which is very good) different plugs wont give you any hp advantage.

Silver as a conductor is not such a good idea under high temps. The best aftermarket sparkplugs currently are Iridium. NGK and Denso are the most available plugs currently.

Do your own research and don't rely on claims or adds for information. They are not meant to inform, only sell.

The sites listed below offer some good info. Not totally objective, but pretty darn accurate. It's owned by NGK. The plugs currently used by many S2000 owners is the IK24 by Denso. This site has the IK24s at a competetive price.

The stock fitment for the '00-'02 is the IK22. The IK24 is one step cooler. I just received mine for my '03. We'll see how well they work.

No, I dont have problems with my current NGK's. Its simply a question I put out there.
Like slipstream444 says I was doubting the conductivity of it at hi temps but was curious if anybody ran them

although they dont last as long, copper is still the best you can buy for hp. platinum and iridium are only for the increased life of the plug.
