I believe SG-Motorsports gained 25hp AT THE WHEEL after putting in some Pulstar Plugs in their 350Z race car. There's a dyno sheet of it on son240sx.org...

I do know that if different plugs are used, you must get the proper heat range so that it will burn the fuel properly and maintain the proper temperature, also the actual length of the threaded section must be identical too so that it extends into the combustion chamber no less or no more but exactly as intended by the manufacturer.
I have heard that some enthusiasts (here) have switched over to Iridium plugs, tho I'm not sure of the advatages.

umm that Z had to be mad boosted to get 25 to the wheels... and 10hp crank or wheels for a G from SPARK PLUGS is RIDICULOUS... not buying it until someone shows me a stock G w/ and w/out these plugs on a dyno... ill maybe give it +1.5HP MAX @ the wheels... I would be a lot less surprised to hear that its increasing mileage tho
