Plasma Booster: Sold by Ignition Solutions.

Torgue and Horsepower gained with improved throttle response.
Dyno print out shows 4-5 rwhp and 5-6 ft-lbs of torgue gain.
Better gas mileage, increase # of sparkes vice just getting the ONE big one and no more after fires.

So far it has been pretty good for me. You can check them out at IgnitionsSolutions.com

According to PB they will provide about a 1% boost in HP and torque. The big their the PB does is decrease the time to max torque and max HP.

If you look at the civic, it had a .8% increase in HP. I really doubt it's going to jump to over 2% with the IS. Show some proof if you're so sure
