Default power range in spark plugs

i have been test out all kinds of spark plugs and found that Bosch Platinum Ir Fusion worked really good. it was a big difference in Throttle response and just a little in hp that i could feel. they are about the only spark plugs that i liked.

has anyone tested different spark plugs to see what hp or Throttle response they get.

(remember that hp starts with a spark)

(remember that hp starts with a spark)
Sparks themselves cannot create horsepower. If there is a better combustion event, i.e. the burning of all fuel evenly and controlled down the cylinder at the proper time, more instantaneous torque may be imparted on the crank. While the sparks may help facilitate this its only worth anything with the proper AFRs( air fuel ratio), with mean best torque for most piston engines being at an AFR of 12.4.....

anyways I think all that is correct... LOL ( I'm pretty sure)

I just installed the Bosch Fusion spark plugs and I definately feel a difference. Seems to have more torque.
