Time to Chime in.

Almost ALL of us NOR CAL GS guys have had TM's for over a year. No one has had any problems that I know of. We all experienced some sense of power gain and several of us have raced our cars without any problems.

Off the Top of my head, those with TM's locally:

RedGS4
Jawnthen
Neo
TY328
Synergy
RMMGS4
Rominl ??

Comparing TM experiences of a Mazda Rotary with a Lexus V8 is apples to oranges.

First, this thread is REAL old.

Second, at least two members had constant mis-firing problems with TM plugs. A guy with a GS430 in Hawaii and myself (90 LS).

I actually went to the TM offices (friendly - yes definetly mom and pop - sorry to say but they aren't too up on newer engine systems) to have them check the plugs. They were sparking fine on the spark plug test machine but I was mis-firing all over the place. It could have been a gap issue but I'm not sure since I didn't get to adjust the gap before replacing them with TOYOTA OEM.
