Does anyone know the real FACTS about these "cryogenically enhanced" spark plugs? I know cryogenics is being used to treat metals for many different applications, but do these "super plugs" really make a noticeable difference in performance?

Its the super duper double secret formula. It'll give you 40hp.

Cryogenically treated metals are stronger and more resistant to wear...but I can't see how that helps HP in regards to a spark plug.
They claim; "better flow of electrons due to denser grain structure"...:dunno:

Having done my fair share of welding, I can understand the theory.

If normal plugs and 40K volt spark are OVERKILL X5.....how can additional spark add anything to the equation??:confused::shake:

Increasing plug life is a possibility but will the additional cost be justified??:shake:

Yeah, kinda like what's gonna hit harder, a punch from Vladimer Klitchko, or a punch from Vladimer Klitchko with a brick in his glove? ;)

IMHO... not worth the additional cost, but hey, why don't you get them then report back.

:rolleyes: :shake: :bs:

That explanation ranks right up there with directional audio cable.

I think this is just more BS to get our money.

This reminds me of the "Tornado" that you put in your intake and it is supposed to help you gain power and MPG... Sounds good, but that is about as far as it goes
