When i do research about firestorm ignition booster i came accross this reply from a forumner as below.... is it true ???? Some of the people say Firstly few months no issue. After few months problem surface like plug coil burn out, spark plug overheated and melted and diode drop off?????. Will it damage the engine or cable or electronic items in longer term e.g 2-3years?????


Lets hear it from NGK, one of the biggest spark plug companies out there :

FAQs - Spark Plugs
Q: How much of a performance improvement can I expect from changing plugs?
A: A common misconception is that changing spark plugs will result in a large power increase. In most cases, removing even seriously worn out spark plugs will only result in very modest power gains, typically about 1-2% of total engine output. This could be even less for computer-controlled vehicles, primarily because most newer vehicles have more powerful ignition systems and the vehicle's computer can make adjustments so that vehicle operation seems smoother and more seamless.
Many people think that simply supplying more spark to the firing tip can and will combust more fuel. What they don't understand is that most newer cars' engines are so efficient that they are already burning all of the available fuel. Simply adding more spark voltage can't burn more fuel because there is no more fuel to burn.
When a stock or near-stock engine is given a fresh set of spark plugs, peak efficiency is restored. The power gains that come from this restored state of tune are usually minimal. Any company that tells you that their spark plug will provide significant gains in power in a stock or near-stock engine is making blanket statements that may not be supportable.

I mean, the power from the engine is created from the gas expansion from fuel air combustion, as long as the spark is enough to start the combustion, I don't see why a bigger spark does anything? It is like you know those traditional red stick of dynamite? Do you think using a bigger fuse to detonate the stick would give you a bigger bang?

I am no automotive engineer/scientist, but I wouldn't install this thing even if it was free.

Probably some people might have seen improvements, but that could be because it was an old car and the ignition system was already half rosak. Better to spend your money on a new stock ignition coil or distributor or set of plugs IMHO.
