Frozen spark plugs
I was at a rally last week and bought spark plugs that had been frozen. i put them on and my throttle response really improved does any one know anything about these plugs and should I keep using them?

RE: Frozen spark plugs
They are cryogenically frozen. Cryogenics is used on metals to relieve stress in the metal. It is said to make it stronger and more wear resistant. It has a proven track record but I am still out on how it would improve spark plugs to the point it would be noticeable in performance.

I was told that by cryogenically freezing the plugs it aligns the molecules so there is less resistance there for increasing the proficiency of the plug.

RE: Frozen spark plugs
This really does work. They put the part in liquid nitrogen and it pulls the molecules close together. Then when the part returns to ambient temperature the molecules are evenly spaced and the metal has no "weak spots". I once had a disposable razor that was given to me as a promo by one of the companies that does this and it lasted over a month.
I don't know what the improvement would be with sparkplugs, but I can see big advantages for cranks, rods, pistons, etc.

It has had good results for gears and other metals that experience wear, but like springer said, what advantage could there be to delivering spark? The electrod has near zero resistance now.

Not at all is it BS, or ignorant. I have an '01 FLSTS, and they improved my MPG by at least 4 mpg and even had quicker throttle response.
They do work.
