I'm a sucker for weird spark plugs.

This time I'm gonna try out a set of Brisk Evo multi-ground strap plugs.

Last set of weird plugs I tried was E3. They worked okay.

Before that was Pulstar. They worked very well in my old Volvo XC70. Really beefed up bottom-end torque. But they go stale after a couple of years.

My new Brisk plugs should be here this week. Looking forward to trying them out on the FX45.
 
Installed these new plugs today. Just finished about an hour's drive throughout the country back roads and so far I'm impressed.

The car seems to run smoother, seems to have more pickup, pulls a little harder, just seems to run stronger overall. Exhaust note is quieter, too.

I replaced a brand new set of NGK V-groove plugs. They look like they were burning perfectly. I was happy to see no deviation in their appearances. Ground straps all equally yellowish, no carbon.

After one drive I strongly recommend these Brisk plugs. Here's an 8-pack on Amazon.

I used this magnetic plug socket today. Absolutely the best plug socket I've ever owned.

Gapping plugs perfectly can be a pain. These Brisk plugs require no gap adjustment. Just load the threads with copper anti-seize, install and go.
 
Just went for another drive and really got on the gas this time. I think I'm now satisfied with my ignition. This old car will move now. I'm thinking these plugs offer an excellent base-line. I trust that my ignition capability is now maxed out. Time to move forward.
 
Of course, there's the Audi coil packs that allegedly amplify ECM voltage to around 50k and are allegedly better built.
 
Welp, I think I'm now a believer in Brisk Evo spark plugs. I can't feel any vibes from the engine at idle. Today I had to look at my tach to verify the engine was still running.

I've been using them for a few years now, I have the premium ones in the fx 45 and ran the same in supercharged grand Prix. Doubt I'll ever look back.

Same findings as you, smoother idle, better mileage and quieter exhaust.

Cant wait to add Audi coils.

I've seriously been looking into upgrading my exhaust system but after installing these Brisk plugs I'm thinking about leaving the factory exhaust setup alone.

My exhaust gases are now reduced to the point that back pressure/flow resistance seems to have vanished or become irrelevant.

These Brisk Evo plugs are brilliant.

People spend hundreds or thousands on exotic exhaust systems to evacuate their unburnt fuel faster. The answer is to burn the fuel completely and then a factory exhaust works perfectly fine.

I'm going to continue working on reducing heat soak of my intake network.
 
A Navy buddy used to complain about how his Trailblazer would run poorly in the summer and get bad gas mileage but would run beautifully when the ambient temp would drop beginning in the fall.

He said the colder it got the better his Trailblazer ran. Obviously he was dealing with heat soak of the intake network in the hot months.

ECMs retard the timing when it senses hot air in the intake to minimize detonation in the cylinders, even if the incoming air is not hot at all. The inlet air temp sensor becomes over-heated by engine bay heat.
 
Cold air is also denser, which is why an prop Driven aircraft climbs better on a cold day.
Denser air means more air, hence more oxygen to the fuel/air mix.
