Pulse plugs?

Hey everyone, I have been noticing quite a few ads in automotive magazines lately about this pulse plug technology. Any thoughts about reliability, etc? If so please share your thoughts. Furthermore, would anyone be willing to test them to see if you notice any power gains or a healthier feeling engine? Anyways here is their site, check it out.

the funny thing is, they are claiming 1 hp per plug by switching to them. thats fine. 8 hp...

i doubt that that will work with every motor. it might work on a new car compared to mid-level factory spark plugs, but on a seasoned motor, ill keep the money i saved from the spark plugs and use it for some 108 gas. lol

now, if these plugs never fouled out, had a lifetime warranty, i could see spending that kind of money on them.

Lol, well, if you are paying to replace spark plugs and you would like to take a hit for the automotive communities benifit (which is what tuners do) then I think it would be worth the money. If I still had my old car I would do it, but not on the granny cruiser I got now.

My dad used had them right before he got his engine rebuilt, honestly you can't really feel a difference in power, his fuel economy did go up like .5 or 1 mpg though, up to 13 hahaha

IMO the results don't justify the price tag
