Independent lab stuff I've read puts them right up there with the Tornada air swirler, PTFE oil additives and ....
More marketing than benefit.

Tried them in my truck...no real benefit. Save the $$ and get the platinum autolites. Just as good IMO.

Lol on the 88, at least you hadThrottle Body injection. Mine was the last of the carbureted. I blew the head gasket on it at 120K (60+ mph in 2nd not a good thing [&:]) Did all the work, including the head gasket, on it myself. My parents still have it in mint condition...250K+ miles on the odometer now The 87 was my first car too! I bought it in '90 with only 7K on the odo.

Damn backseat had more space in it than the mustang...ahh the memories in that Sentra

B42's are quite adequate, and the B45's are a hotter plug. Unless you have the other upgrades to back up the need to spend the bucks for the hot plugs, then stick with the originals.
