Default BRISK plugs came in

Got my BRISK plugs today and just by looking at them and gapping, I'm not impressed. They cost enough that installing for a test is a must, but I'm not expecting much. They have screw on caps, the manufacturing seems to be a little inconsistant, the gap is less than .025. They do have a plastic cap covering the business end, which is the only plus, I guess. By the time these were gapped to .052 the ground electrode was at a pretty steep angle compared to the center electrode. No matter how good they work, I won't recommend these. I feel like I bought the spark plug equivalent of the Tornado intake.

Oh no. I bought some Accel plugs years ago that had those. That = junk. Which Brisks did you get? The silver ones? I'll stick to copper.

Well Lee that sucks to put it plainly. Maybe they will work better than they look? maybe, but not likely.

not ideal, but a little dab of the high-heat only removable loctite would help with the caps.

What plugs did you Buy ?
With your mods you should have got the BRISK GOR14LGS

Sorry to see you are not happy with the plugs,
so far i'm still smilling good gas millage and still improved engine Performace..

If tomorrow is a good day ( No Snow ) i will take the car out with the scanner hooked up...

What kind did you buy ? The multi-spark's or the LGS ?

They make a difference in bikes in my experence.

PS. I love screw on tops All the cars I have have plugs with the screw on tops. Accel's in my truck, NGK's in both cars.

I called Brisk before ordering, and they said NOT to use the LGS plugs..period, unless your car is completely stock. They claim first of all, that the 4 to 5 HP gains they advertise were using the sliver racing and not the LGS. That the LGS will not last very long in a car with my mods even as a daily driver, due to the large gap, and burning out the "external resistor".
The only two plugs they recommended were the GR14S and G14YS. I went with the G(R)14S, because it is a resistor plug. Their tech said they've heard of no problems running the non resistor plugs in a vehicle that specs out to a resistor one, but I'm not going there.

Anyway I'll get some pictures up tonight.
