Just FYI, many of the places that were selling those, stopped selling them for having misfire issues. Swap back to stock and all is good.

Mine work great other than the poor fitment. Was able to open the gap on my plugs by .004 without blow out. I was having trouble blowing out the spark at .028 gap with the stock coil packs. Now I run a .32 gap without a hiccup. Seems like I gave around $350ish for my set through Mark@LFP.

HI!... I have those GRAN cops. JUNK!!!! They caused my truck to shut off all the time. Traced the problem back to they put out such a magnetic field due to the 60,000 volts that they produce that it was interupting my PCM. I bought mine here in CANADA for less than $449.00. What a waste of money that was. As for the plasma booster, it worked on my truck. 8RWH.P on the dyno. Been running it for 4-5 years now with no problems.

The only downfall to boosting your plasma is the fact that you have to hack up the factory wiring to install it. Just like all ignition products out there, there are mixed reviews about it.

My Plasma Booster is still working after about 3 years of use and with 97K on the original COPS/wires.

was you running the plasma booster with the Granitelli cop's? do you think that may have caused your issues?

i have a set and made well over 700hp to the tire with using a ngk tr6 gapped at .039 not one sign of mis fire or spark blow-out. were going for 800hp tommorrow.
