Default Pulstar Pulse Plugs - Performance/gas mileage??

I ran across these today enerpulse.com and was wondering if anyone out there has used them and seen results in Gas Mileage and Horse Power??

Thanks,
Rob

Usually when asking a question you are looking for a response in the form of an answer not a question.

In looking at your question a few things come to mind, cost, life expectancy...Maybe the manufacturer has a deal with x spark plug company.

If you have more information I would love to hear.

Thanks,
Rob

I think the big answer for me is that there are almost no reviews on these wonder plugs that aren't directly from the companies press releases. A independent lab is mentioned but no real results are shown nor is what exactly was tested and how it was done.

heck if you go on amazon there is only one review and it's a seat of the pants that says the idle is smoother and revs better he thinks....

So to me it would rank right up there with the turbine air intake, 9.99 performance chip that generates 35% more economy and 70 hp and that wonderful HHO invention. Those are all validated by a un-named independent lab as well.......

I can't possibly see any benefit to using special plugs like that, except maybe a slight placebo after dropping $20 on each plug. Stick with what was selected by the engineers who built the engine, and blow that money on something useful like, say, lap dances.

Because they weren't around when Champion spent all the bucks to buy Rovers business. Even GM didn't want to spend that sort of money just to keep the A/C plugs in Rover engines.
