Question for techs or engine experts, from a layman: IF this patented
spark plug really works, as the Nexus magazine article suggests, how
can a 2005 engine (presumably with computerized sensors and Fuel
Injection) going to be tweaked to a 25:1 air/gasoline ratio?

Any comments about this apparently fuel-saving spark plug?

If this isn't the right forum, sorry, please point me in the right
direction.

Not even close to feasable. And even if you could reliably light off a 25:1,
it wouldn''t burn, it explodes. Go WOT for a few seconds at 25:1 and the
exhaust pipe is full of piston and exhust valve parts.

We have dyno tested all kinds of plugs, etc. If the temp is right and you
get a spark, NONE of them will make more HP or MPG.  This is an old scam
from 25 years ago.
