Consistency is key on racing and it is also key in high performance engines. The folks at MSD know that, hence the reason that the company has designed and brought to market a line of high performance Iridium spark plugs designed to get the job done in your hard running engine. The fact is that you could tune your whole ignition up with great MSD wires, an MSD distributor, and MSD box, you name it, but if all of those components were trying to work with sub standard plugs you were losing a lot of their benefit. With these pieces, MSD can provide you an ignition system from front to back that is hard working, consistent, and best of all high voltage.
MSD used its history in NASCAR and NHRA drag racing to aid in the design and material usage in these spark plugs. We’re looking forward to seeing them show up in high performance engines be they at car shows, on the street, strip, or high banks. The company also came up with a cool slogan for them which is, “Get ’em In Your Head!”
SCROLL DOWN TO READ THE FULL RELEASE FROM MSD ON THEIR NEW LINE OF IRIDIUM SPARK PLUGS –
El Paso, TX, August 6, 2014 – With over four decades of experience in designed and manufacturing high output ignition systems, it should be no surprise to learn that MSD is introducing a line of performance spark plugs! MSD’s new Iridium Spark Plugs are engineered and designed to be used on high performance, high output street engines.
MSD used their involvement in NASCAR to define high rpm endurance while reviewing the spark isolation requirements needed on plugs to fire an NHRA top fuel
engine to create this new line of plugs from the ground up. The result of this high level experience in motorsports is a spark plug that is engineered to support power with long lasting performance for hot rods, modern muscle cars, trucks and SUV’s, as well as sport compact.
The point of interest of MSD’s spark plugs is the iridium tip and the yttrium copper enhanced ground strap. This combination is designed to handle the higher heat associated with performance engines and high output ignition systems. The ground strap has also been modeled to expose as much of the flame as possible to create complete combustion. Attention was also given to the proprietary ceramic material of the plug ensuring that the only path for spark was across the gap – not through the housing which is typical of inferior plugs.
- Iridium tip assures an intense spark and improves cold starts
- Electrode is machined to expose more flame to the combustion chamber
- Proprietary ceramic blend ensures the most spark isolation
- Reduced chance of pre-ignition with a yttrium enhanced ground electrode
- Designed for long lasting performance even with high output ignition controls
- Available for traditional hot rods, modern muscle cars and sport compact performance
