Plasma Booster

ok, i saw this in the parts section and looked at the price($485, or close to it), and was like, WHOA!! i was wondering, does anyone have them, does it work/ make much of a difference? is it worth almost $500?

Thanks

on a side note, they offer a core charge(pay you for your old ones), thogh im not sure how much that is. also, does ayone know how much regular replacement coil/plug assemblies would cost from the dealer? maybe it wont be such a "sticker shock" if i had something to compare it to.

a few people have them and they said that the did notice that the car idled better and the throttle response was a little quicker. has far as horsepower gains you might notice a slight difference but if you're like me then you gotta have them. evey little bit helps. with a set of denso plugs you will have a top notch igniton system. i think they are worth it.

an upgraded ignition really wont do that much unless you've got more fuel to burn i really doubt there would be much of a hp increase

I've got them, check the reviews section for my review. I think they're worth, probably notcied the most from that mod compared to other mods.

When they sent me the 4, one was bad. They replaced it overnight. I think IDQCivic had the same problem, but I don't want to speak for him. Since then I have had no problems. It's a great product in my opinion, but probably not worth the money. Over time, will the price go down? Maybe.
