I'll believe it when I actually see first hand. Of course indexing plugs is an old school method for getting the very most from what you've got.

You are absolutely right, there is no such thing as cheap HP, don't ask me how I know...

Now, if changing 2 plugs gains 3 hp, then I could have the heads drilled for dual plugs and gain 6???

They could have had a tight gap on the original plugs, or some other trick-foolery. I don't believe the video, although it does have the appearance of a good thing (as do most TV commercials).
