OK, so I will not debate that you get a hotter spark. If I have an open can of gasoline and I put a 600 degree open flame to it or a 10,000 degree plasma source, both will blow me to hell. If it is in a combustion chamber the same thing holds.

If the spark is too weak to jump the gap, it won't ignite the mixture and you will get a misfire but nobody has said an original ign setup is too weak to jump the gap

You state that you have an electronic ignition on your 356 and there are no problems, if there were problems before this might have fixed them, if there were no problems before then it proves nothing.

There are advantages to electronic ign, to be sure, like almost infinite point life and firing on low voltage. Like Splitfire spark plus that were all the rage until the FTC forced them to stop their unsubstantiated claims, I'd like to see proven results and not just "it's really great"
