DirectHits® accumulates ignition power and releases the stored power to the spark gap. Virtually every spark plug on the market today (SplitFire®, Platinum, Iridium) is a Low Power Discharge plug (LPD) having a peak discharge current of between 0.020 to 0.060 amps. DirectHits is a High Power Discharge spark plug (HDP) generating 500 amps of peak discharge current ...10,000 times more power than LPDs. Power to really ignite fuel!
