You must think your engine tuner is some sort of god to find power in a standard spark plug. The only difference in plugs, unless knackered, is the indexing and that is minimal. But you don't need to be an engine tuner or have a dyno to index plugs, you don't even need the head off, just a box of plugs and a marker pen.

My point about a Dyno was that it took a one to identify the problem of a failing plug. By not changing it, you might be losing a huge chunk without even knowing it. But by regular changing of plugs, even if you don't index them, you will only lose an unmeasurably small amount of power.
