You can't leave ME alone with an engine, either, Ken!

And look at what happens when you just do what you know is the most right thing.

Awe-SUM!!!

Ladies and gentlemen-There are more and more people turning more data on spark plugs and how important they are as well as what may be done.
Here's one from Andy Mechanic out of Australia that is an EXCELLENT break-down of resistor-vs-non-resistor plugs.
Now, when you watch this, be sure to comment, and tell him if he wants, he should contact me and get some Snake Oil at no charge.
Just to say "Thank you!" for his educational work in the field. He's a real pro!

I will be having capacitor sets available for any number of cylinder engines soon! I plan on assembling them on-demand, and will let you guys know how they will look as soon as I can.

Turn your ignition wires into plasma, and for WAY cheaper than anyone else! Probably be around $5.00 per cylinder plus shipping. One ground wire and one per spark plug connection.

Email me if you would be interested...

you're talking peaking capacitors, correct?
(it's wonderful what a little bit of knowledge and some basic parts can do for you, isn't it?)
If you want to be really super sexy about it, I'd add High voltage diodes to the package.
I've been meaning to dig deeper into applying this to my Wendy for a while, but haven't gotten around to it yet...
Tracy G has Murakami Plasma on one of his grooved Subarus (the old school one, with a distributor), and he says she runs like a dream, with fantastic power - there's a good thread detailing his build here on the forum...maybe he'll be kind enough to link to it in this thread for everyone

After doing some more research, I think I'll be able to do it for about $25 for a 4-cylinder, although 1 and 2 cylinders will probably be more per plug because of the parts cost per cylinder is higher, but I've already ordered the high voltage caps and am looking into enclosures now.

I want them to be sexy as well as functional. Simple design, but will be amazingly effective. I wanted to do the RV while I had it torn apart, but that ain't going to happen to the best level, so I will be wrapping my plug wires with speaker wire, starting that today. Then, I'll wrap them with aluminum tape. At least that will intensify the spark a good deal...

Of course, pictures as I go...

I've seen mention that non-resistor spark plugs could cause trouble with the electronics of the car... Is that so? What was your experience? Thanks!

If it's an older system, that is possible. But only so far as static on the radio is concerned. Well, that and MAYBE the damn computer-monitoring of the GPS signals!

And I would think that's a GOOD thing!

A good concern - gps in a car. Any Radio Frequency discharge is an electromagnetic event. That would probably have an effect on the radio timing signal from the satellites, and exact position. There might be a correct/effective way to shield the gps circuitry/receiver from what the spark plugs are doing/putting off.

Ron, I am so looking forward to seeing the new plasma plug lead sets, A few years ago I considered having a custom plasma lead set made by a company called Nology. Here is a video replicating how Nology wires are made. They are true plasma wires but without capacitors. Easy to make at home. Check it out

I have seen many of his videos, Aaron, and he's a real developer. A little s-l-u-g-g-i-s-h in his presentations, but his data is sound.

As I have seen this video, and the materials I need for my plasma application, I will apply exactly what he's done here, with a little addition. I am going to to wind my plug wires with solid core copper speaker wire. To understand why, you would do well to look into the bifilar discussion here, and elsewhere.

When you do, start reaching for a feeling of flow-less frequency, for that's another discussion entirely!

Posted a reply on his Youtube video and Scotty Kilmers about the Groove
Was a little miffed on the ignorance of Scotty saying that if the groove worked, car makers would use it.
Tell that to Charles Pogue, Stan Meyer and Tom Ogle.
I expressed my disdain of Scotty's ignorance seeing he is considered an "expert" by those who listen to him.

Scotty Kilmer is a messiah in his own right, with his legion of followers; what we're doing here is 1%-er stuff, or less. Leave them to their things just as they pay little mind to us.
