I would highly recommend not using this sort of crap. The stock ignition system is not lacking in any way. Why add wires to a system that needs none? The things naieve people spend their money on......

Is that HP increase measured at the wheels or the brochure? What if you bought 2 sets and hooked them together? DOUBLE the HP!!!!!!

Yes retard it would double the HP!! I don't know why people like Scott17 even bother posting here. If we wanna do this mod let us do it and don't hate on us. Somebody has to try it and see if it works like they say. If it works on the EVO then I am sure it works on the TC.

I posted because there are a lot of young, inexperienced guys on this forum (like yourself) who don't seem to have enough common sense to find their _______s with a funnel. None of this crap is new, hell, J C Whitney built an empire selling this stuff! I am a MDT who has a bit of experience working on Toyotas, and I actually understand how they work. I also have cultivated a little common sense over the years and try to put it to good use from time to time. But' as you surely know, it's your money and you are perfectly entitled to waste it as you wish.

Yes you might know about Toyota's but if they have dyno proven it then I believe it works. Now if they just made up some happy horse crap about it I probably wouldn't have bought them. It may not add a lot of power but it adds a little and every little bit helps on the TC which has little power. Just because coil on plug is supposed to be the best doesn't mean that there is not room for improvement on the system.

Who dyno'd it? The guy selling it to you?(this is where the common sense part comes into play) Is this HP gain greater than common dyno error percentage? What principal of physics would indicate that this setup would be better than stock? If you can answer these questions correctly, you'll surely make the right choice.

Well the gain on the stock motor was like 3whp but when added with other bolt on mods the gains can see as much as 7-8whp. It may not be substancial but it is better than nothing I suppose.

With a name like Scott17, you wonder why he has the 17 in his name? We will see if our company can do a dyno pull on the hot wires when Scion gets us the car next month. Until then, its up to the customer if they want to do this mod. It is proven the Stock spark is very weak.

Well I plan on going back to the dyno in the next couple of weeks to see what the Exhaust, Header, Hot Wires and Weapon-R Intake will add.

Excellent! Thanks for going the extra mile and look forward to seeing the results. Whatever that may be I think you will be happy with the results and the new modifications.

Just give up. Arguing on the internet is like being in the special olympics, even if you win you are still retarded.
