just to say I recently fitted a set of Formula Power leads and the 'Spitfire' multi-spark coil lead....

fk me they're good! Incredible difference on the acceleration! Anybody else have them?

Big thanks to Mr Cooper

I saw these HT leads at the recent Knebworth show, they looked well made, its good to here they work well.

I was not so sure about the Spitfire Multi-spark Coil To distro HT, I thought it may be just a Gimmick, have you tried with and without this? Does it make differance or is it just the new spark plug HT leads?

BTW what did you pay for them?

Is this the bloke who was at Back Home grabbing everyone in the Car Park of the Hotel?
When I asked for some technical info of how it worked, he couldn't give me any answers.
I discount stuff like this as a gimmick .. one big spark at the right time, that's all that's needed. there's multi-spark CD ignitions, but they produce a series of VERY BIG sparks to tidy emmisions .. this leads splits the VERY BIG spark into lots of tiny sparks, so I guess you'd be struggling on high compression engines anyway to generate anything over the spark plug gap. If you want a weak spark overa longer time just close the plug gaps up, and save 30 pounds. I would suggest that if your car runs better now (placebo?) then you had a fault in the first place that this somehow corrects, but I'm firmly of the opinion that this sort of stuff is complete b***ocks... IMO.
