BLUE LIGHTNING spark plugs!
I had a friend of mine tell me about these plugs and said that he was at a rally and the Blue lightning folks were there. He said he had them installed and noticed the difference in power right away. Really? Has anyone ever heard of this?

careful of the voodoo.
1.) sophisticated enigine control systems 'expect' the sparkplugs to react in a certain way. substituting plugs with a different resistance characteristic may cause the ECM is retard timing if it thinks that there is spark knock
1.b) before & after comparos often pit the new product vs worn out or other components
2.) magic bullet theory.
An Auto Instructor once pointed out that with CAFE and emissions standards- if the turbulator or magic sparkplugs or magnet on the fuel line did anything, the manufacturers would use them, so as to increase power, reduce emissions or improve MPG.
Rather than carve pounds of weight from the bumper hoping to increase MPG.
so maybe your Pal experienced 1.b where his new sparkplugs replaced worn out or improper plugs, and he had high expectations.

I call BS !!!!!!!
"They" claim to align the molecules so that there is less friction and resistance. That should mean that the electrons flow a lot more freely and faster.
If that was the case, how does it cause "longer lasting spark discharges"? Wouldn't the electrons flow faster, and then the spark discharge is over faster?

I bet your friend would have experienced the same oomph with oem plugs. New vs old. No plug gives more hp. None. Those iridium plugs because the electrode gets so hot will actually cause pre-ignition of the fuel. That's bad. Stick with cheap coppers and change them every season. Done deal.

Cryo treatment can have benefits in many applicationss, and it does realign the molecular crystaline structure of the base metal. However, in a spark plug, does the treatment provide enough benefit to justify the additional manufacturing process? Are they compatable with our ignitions' knock sensing function? Enhancing ignition performance is a great way to get more power out of any vehicle with less than optimum ignition. The HD EFI ignition is pretty robust and there is not much room for improvement. Ever look for a performance coil for your late model bagger?
