love my TM's!! They give my GS3 a little bit more of a punch when I open it up on the highway. Seems to rev higher too. Worth the $$$$ 4 sure.

Be aware that there has been an opposite side to the story with these plugs.

Myself, ChuH, and I think one or two more had problems with a noticeable rough idle and mis-fires with TM plugs.

I love close to the TM headquarters and took a trip down there to have them diagnose the problem. They couldn't find a fix and adjusted the gap to a lower setting to see if that helped.

At the time, I wasn't completely sure if the TM plugs were giving me the weird idle and mis-fires, but later after putting in OEM Denso platinum plugs the problem disappeared.

I will get my car dyno'd again soon to see if there is a HP difference from the Denso's and the TM plugs. For some reason i feel that the denso plugs will perform better than the TMs.

We'll see.
