Well, maybe this is a weight reducing measure to reduce the 1/4 mile times or something.

Hey Sixpipes, maybe this should be added with the titanium lug nuts in the Go_Rila racing kit, or something.

i don't know? looks like there're real proud of the "packaging so good we patented it". the other big deal is titanium is anti-siezing, something that is taken care of when you coat the threads of any new plug with anti-sieze compound-use it on your wheel lugs too. did notice they have racing plugs and they offer you an opportunity to ask questions about heat ranges for my 01L engine. am waiting to get an email answer from them.

I have a Titanium frying pan (not a joke) from Belgium that cooks at about 1/2 the heat of an SS pan, may be the plugs manipulate the heat some how to their advantage?

Or maybe like the pan it's just a lot more expensive!

A titanium frying pan? The next thing you know we'll have titanuim $park plugs!

Jus kidding.

Titanium hold heat very well. I don't know that I would want them in a blower motor. Might be too hot.
