I was doing a search online today and found this product on Moss Motors website. I was wondering if anyone here had heard of it before, or tried it out? $260 seems a lot for the equivilent of new plug wires, and a 12hp bump? I'd really like to see proof of that.
Here's the link. http://www.fordmustangstore.com/Shop/ViewP...teIndexID=51377

If anyone has any info either way, please let us all know.

 

I'd take 12hp for $260... but I seriously doubt if they can deliver that much (if any).

 

I'm wondering about any kind of tuning issues with this upgrade.

 

I just called Granatelli Motorsports, this is a better solution than to that Plasma Booster advertised on RPM outlet, the Plasma Booster Co. is out of business for good. This is an alterantive that plugs between the spark plug and spark plug wire. Adding a more powerful spark, increasing fuel economy and performance, as well as throtle response! Sound likes a bargain, and they do claim it does not void factory warranty!

I might actually invest in it......

 

Looks like snake oil to me!!

I'd like to see the math/physics equations for how that "makes" horsepower from nothing. PT Barnum was quoted as saying, "There's a sucker born every minute."






By the way, he didn't really say that. http://www.historybuff.com/library/refbarnum.html
Sheesh, I need to do something useful!

 

I wonder if Granatelli can provide dyno results?

 

That is complete bullpoo if you ask me. There is more than enough power in the ignition system for the GT already.

Feel free to waste your money as usual.

im drunk right now so I cant give a very good explanation...

When it comes to power adder applications, fooling with spark duration (gap) can result in some small gains (like a horsepower here or there). From what has been relayed from expert tuners in the field of power adding, this has already been found to be true in the 05+ GTs.

Party at dans house!!!!!! Don bring your mouse!!!!!

 

It cracks me up when people actually believe this stuff! With all of Fords R&D resources you think they would pass on free horsepower :scratch: But no, some company with little if any resources can come up woth "magic" solutions. This rates with the tb spacer, magic octane boosters, larger tb, etc.

Anytime you increase density of the air charge and cylinder pressure through a power adder it increases the voltage requirement to jump the stock plug gap. In order for the spark to jump the gap you either need to increase the voltage or reduce the gap.

Naturally, the most cost effective method is to reduce the gap of the plug to maintain proper spark.

I agree with George if your running power adders like nitros, turbos, or SCer's. But on stock application I believe these are worthless.

 

And exactly how does something that is installed inline with the plug wires INCREASE anything? Conservation of energy says it CAN'T increase the energy. Period.

Oh, and has anyone ran these cars on a dyno on boost with an analyzer connected to the plug wires to SEE if we are having issues with misfires?

The very nice thing about coil on plug design is that there really isn't any place for the spark energy to go but through the plug. Back in the old days of distributers, you had all kinds of problems firing the plugs in bad conditions due to the ease (realatively speaking) of the spark shorting from one post to the next instead of being forced to jump the gap.

And just the record, we "force" the spark to fire the plug by constantly increasing the voltage at the coil until SOMETHING gives. If it is all sealed up nice and tight, the first place to "fail" will the spark plug.

 

Anyone tried the Kenne Bell Boost-a-spark? A friend of mine used it on his FI vehicle and it got rid of his spark blowout at higher RPMS.
