Just saw the video.

How can you compare a modern high tech 4 cylinder with ECU controlled timing and a knock sensor, compared to that huge boat anchor of a spartan motor with dart heads, headers and a carburetor? Maybe they advanced the timing 1/3rd of a degree, or took the best E3 run with the worst run of the other plug. This test proves nothing, I would really like to see a televised event of these plugs actually making more power on 10 or more cars. Then they might change my view, but even then.
