Default Pulse Plugs?

Has anyone ever tried the Pulstar pulse plugs?

I can't see spending $25 a pop for a spark plug..but I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried them.

most people are gonna tell you they are snake oil, to stick with the stock copper plugs on a stockish car. however, i dont think anyone has gone thru the trouble of installing and dynoing them.

now, when i installed my accel ignition coil, msd wires, and my ngk iridium plugs, i DID notice better throttle response, and did get better mpg (i measured it). however, it could be do to the fact that i just needed a tuneup..

if you are interested in some hi-poo plugs, i have some for sale in the classified section. halo plugs. you can google them, see whatcha like. ive got a good price on em, never used.

stock or stock replacement plugs is what you want...

Nothing is gonna give you a boost, gain, etc unless the stock parts are worn, or you have F/I and need better spark.

I read a article on these plugs. They gave a gain of about 5 hp and 5 ft/lbs of torque to a stock honda civic. The article also states that they give even better gains to forced induction powered cars. The Civic also saw a mpg gain with the plugs, went from 450 kms/tank to 600 kms/tank. Next time Im in the city Im gonna buy them for my Stang.

don't trust these articles. honda civics also gain over 100hp from low body kits and giant spoilers.

Dont forget the neon lights underneath; 40 HP right there. As for these 25 dollar spark plugs. I dont think you have enough power running in your car right now to need these. I mean $150 worth of just spark plugs, dont you have something else you could spend your money on? If not send it to me, I do!
