Pulse Plugs

I recintly learned about a company that finally makes these pulse plugs for just about every motor and i was wondering what your opinions would be on these plugs. The Pulstar™ Pulse Plug is not just another spark plug!

Well, considering they don't recommend using their plugs with any sort of Forced Induction because the heat range is too high, I'm not too impressed I've found that most spark plug "enhancements" are gimmicks. Might as well just stick with copper (I've had good luck with iridium too, the smaller electrode helps with weak ignition systems)

With all the 'gimmick' spark plugs to hit the market with in the last 15 years (Splitfire, Bosch Plus Four) I remain skeptical as well. I would love to see some independent dyno testing done before I'd be sold. But than the whole forced induction thing comes into play. I've got a customer that seems to have noticed a dramatic change in his 3SGTE powered MR2, but I've never put much faith in my butt dyno let alone someone else's. I find copper works well...and I only drive my Supra enough to warrant replacing the plugs once a year at best.

yeah the website has dyno tests posted in a magazine im not sure if its on their website because i havent looked in depth but im sure that these plugs are made for NA motors do to the fact that they do not have any dyno tests on boosted cars and that could be do to the fact that boosted cars require cooler plugs
