With more air and fuel packed into the cylinder with increased boost, the mixture gets harder to ignite. There's always a chance your spark plugs could be on their way out and running the JB4 will show you that. Many of us ran the JB4 for a long time without replacing anything.

Just have a code reader ready so if you do start experiencing misfires you can tell what cylinders they occur on and then start diagnoses (usually the coil goes first).
