Does anyone know anything about "Hot Wire Spark Plug Wires" Are their claims true? Here's what they are saying: "HotWires create a tremendously powerful plasma discharge that ignites every fuel mixture, rich or lean, much better than a conventional spark. Combustion is more complete, resulting in increased horsepower and lower exhaust emissions. HotWires are engineered with a special built-in capacitor, exclusive only to HotWires. This revolutionary design allows spark energy to accumulate in the capacitor until the voltage reaches the ionization point. At that split second, the entire power of the stored spark is discharged at once. The resulting spark is up to 300 times more powerful. Combustion is faster and more complete, resulting in increased horsepower and a cleaner burn. Replacing conventional ignition wires with HotWires is the easiest way to increase the performance of any engine. HotWires can be custom-made to fit nearly any application. " As usual it sounds good, but isit B.S.? Thanks for any opinions.

would you want combustion to be faster? is that good or bad? i'm not sure exactly how they mean it. if anyone would like to further that thought, i'd like to read it.

This has been discussed. And they have been proven to lose power on rotaries.

The way they work is a regular spark duration looks like this:

The "hotwires" spark duration looks like this:

So instead of having a long/weak spark, it has a single sharp high-voltage discharge spark. It seems to work on piston engines... but doesnt seem to be so for Rotaries.

There is another brand of these spark plug wires that does the same thing, but for the life of me, i cannot remember the name, and the subject has been beaten to death as well lol
