Super Street Bike Jan issue
Has anybody tried these Takai super coils do they actually make the 6HP claimed in the new SSB Jan issue?

I asked Lee specifically about these and unfortunately he told me he never got the chance to test them. I'd sure like a real person to test them and give an unbiased opinion on them instead of the people that are trying to sell them telling everyone how great and wonderful they are.

Only $750 a set & 4-8hp unverified by anyone other than the seller, I'll wait until someone with a wad to waste buys & dyno tests them, thanks.

My own snooping into the physics of ICEs reveals the spark plug design is much more important than the energy source.

I'd love to get 4-8 horsepower from the world's best super duper coils and the best designed spark plug known to man combined. Just don't see that happening however.

I don't see 4-8hp on a stock engine. 1-2 maybe. But even if, in hypothetical magical advertisement world, you did get the full 8, that is a lot of money for each horsepower. You would be better off getting head work, a thin head gasket, or both. You would get more power and the price wouldn't be much different. Or if you only wanted a little power some of the time, put a small shot of nitrous on it. Add 20hp, even with a small bottle it would last a long time.
