Spark plug

Hello all,
I just stumbled across a "racing" spark plug.
Champion QA 55v, with no heat range and no gap it will allow tighter "squish" .
any body tried this spark plug? does it help?
they are claiming 3 plus hp gain. ??? anybody put it on a dyno?
I am just asking if these are better than the iridium plugs that we currently use, and your experiences good and bad.

I never said i believe it ...... I simply stated their claim.
I do like the idea of exposing the spark directly to the fuel charge in the combustion chamber, I have been looking for a plug to do that for 2 years.

Hey guys, speaking of plugs....Does anyone know the part number to the Iridium plugs? I don't mean to "steal" your thread, I'm just curious and would like to try them, I just can't seem to find them

Thanks for all your help!!

**EDIT: nevermind guys I found the part number for the Iridiums, for anyone who doesn't know it's DCPR9EIX**

speaking of backup parts, the duralast relays i bought from autozone have a lifetime warranty, i replaced all 3 and keep my 2 good old ones as spares for emergency, not bad to have a lifetime warranty on a part known to go out often on our bike!
