Anyone using ZEX Spark Plugs?

I saw an ad in Hot Rod and went to their web site to check them out but figured they're probably just another gimmick or waste of money. Anyone have any first hand experience or opinions?

Here's their web site: http://www.powerandperformancenews.c...ode=SPARKPLUGS

They claim the plugs are designed for FI/N2O applications.

I run Autolites and have for years but I have the plugs out for some service and was considering these to try. Anyone think they're worth $60 for a set?

Seems odd that they don't mention different heat ranges; I think you'd need to run a different plug for 15# of boost vs 6# of boost. Also they state that you'll benefit from these plugs if you're running CAI or improved exhaust...sounds like snake oil!

Absoluetly not. Go with the tried and true F.I. plugs eveyone else is making serious power with. Could you imagine replacing those on a regular basis?

.99 Cent autolite 104's seem to work good on my 14lbs of boost.
