playing around with spark plugs that feature fine wire electrodes, iridium electrodes, split electrodes, ring electrodes, multiple electrodes, platinum electrodes, copper electrodes, or gold electrodes, and get serious with silver electrodes! Silver is the best electrical and thermal conductor of any metal. This makes Silverstone™ the best spark plugs in the world. Period!


Silver Center Electrode
Up To 137% More Spark Power
Increased Horsepower
Cleaner Combustion
Long Lasting
Race Proven Design
Top Quality Materials



Silverstone spark plugs are especially designed for the unique demands of modern high-performance engines. Silver is the best electrical and thermal conductor of all metals, which makes it the ultimate material for a spark plug's center electrode. The large diameter silver center electrode of Silverstone spark plugs increases spark carrying ability and spark power by as much as 137%. Silver is extremely resistant to erosion, guaranteeing a virtually unchanged electrode gap for the life of the spark plug. Silverstone spark plugs are designed without a suppressor resistor, perfect for performance enthusiasts who demand the most from their engines. For racing or dependability and efficiency for everyday use, Silverstone spark plugs deliver the most powerful spark.

If you're not using Silverstone™, you're not going as fast as you could be.

 

It might work at first, but silver tarnishes and will loose its conductivity real quick.

Silver wires however are better as the current travels through the wire instead of out of it...

 

hmm.. interesting. ANyone else?

 

Probably only works best on a Silverstone Z.

Just had to throw that in,

 

Why not get them and see for yourself. If you drive a Z I would Imagine you could afford those spark plugs.

 

Its not that I cant afford them. Its that I dont want to put crappy stuff on the Z.
Was going to see what you guys use.

 

Don't waste your money. I've used these plugs and they aren't worth a damn.

 

the7ferret has a good point.......I would think that the corrosion issues associated with silver prevent it from being the standard conducting element in other industries(electronics)......I would want to see how long the components last.

I pulled the following quote from their statements...."Silver is extremely resistant to erosion"......I would think corrosion would be the biggest enemy.
