These things are getting pretty popular.

Hot Rodding magazine even had an article that showed that changing to those plugs alone added more horses than a cat-back exhaust. May be a gimmick, who knows. But has anyone tried them out yet? Worth it?

Oh I know. Ive always stuck with Delcos. Ive tried to run others just to see what they were like, and no bueno. But now I got a cam and Im just trying to get some plugs that may burn all the fuel im dumping into more efficiently. The Delcos are doing just fine but Im sure if I get my ECM reprogrammed and throw some Pulstars in it I can get some more HP out of it. Im not worried about MPG at all so i want to dump as much fuel as I can, if it will all get burned.

They say their spark lasts 2 billionths of a second while in conventional plugs the spark lasts 30 milllionths of a second. That means there is a shorter amount of time the A/F mixture is exposed to a means of igniting, so if the swirling mixture isn't exactly the right ratio at the point of the Pulstar when it gets its' short burst, a misfire will result causing a reduction in power and with the new OBD II system, it'll throw an engine misfire code. Just Stick to AC Delco. All of these plugs from, Nology and there Hotwires and Pulstar capacitor is a horsepower scam. If You wanna change your ignition i Reccomend Changing the Distrbutor and Possbily adding a Module and Blaster Coil From MSD. While I Doubt youll gain HP, Itll be a little more efficent and a more powerful spark comared to the inductive igntion systems.

I Also Want To Add that Newer Plugs that Use Iridium Suck. They Use iridium bc it can last 100K before tuneups. Use either platinum or the only other spark plug beside AC Delco that I Use was Nology Silver Spark Plugs, bc Silver is extrmemly good electrical conducter. Only side effect is they dont usually last very long, def not 100K. But I Went Back To Delco after i needed replacement of them.

To what are you basing your opinion that Iridium plugs "suck".

I had Pulstar Plugs, but found out that they were the cause of my PO300 random misfire.... hmmm. So I do not recommend them, for $25 each they are not worth it.

Im sure it just depends on the vehicle. Ive sold a few sets so far and the people that bought them loved them. One guy had a newer Civic with less than 20k miles on it and changed to them and said he noticed a huge difference.

I meant that in overall electrical conductivity for Pure Performance. Overall they perform decent but not good for pure performance.
