Go back to your Denso URL and read what it says. I quoted from that page.
See next line, RE: your URL.

[My reply after reading it]

RW> LOL! You know it's a line of BS when you read this part:

[begin quote]

RW> "the new Denso Iridium Power spark plugs that added 750-hp to Kenny

                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

RW> Duttweiler's 450-cid twin-turbocharged Ford."

 TW> at high boost pressures.

But exagerated it's claim by stating they added a rediculous amount of
horsepower to the engine.

Had the report said that those plugs added 7.5hp, it would have been as
I might have expected, but 750hp isn't made by adding those plugs to the
system.
