Halo Spark Plugs

Has anyone used (or heard of) the Halo Spark Plugs? I caught a quick reference to them while watching Power Block the other day and the claims are significant horsepower and mileage increases with less emissions. Sounds too good to be true for just a set of plugs.

You are right about the snake oil. There have been variations of this theme for decades. The way that electricity works is that it follows the path of least resistance. It will spark to the closest part of the electrode, not all the way around it like they try to get you to believe. The next snake oil that you will see is some form of turbulator that goes into the intake to aid in mixing the charge. These have also been proven to do nothing.

Whats funny with those is sometimes they tend to lean out your engine. You really don't feel any performance change but if you're not a hard driver you end up with better mileage LOL
