Default Not happy with Pulstar Spark Plugs

I picked up these plugs for my '06 and honestly didn't see much of any gains or change in engine performance. I'm thinking I should have stuck with my NGK's.

Everything I've seen on these indicates that they are a gimmick. I can't say I'm surprised.

Guess as long as they're no worse than any others, chalk it up to a lesson learned. If it sounds to good, it usually is.

A real smart man many years ago made a statement like "Energy can be neither created, nor destroyed" and E=MC (squared). I believe that both of those statements are still true. Also, when I first heard of this "too good to be true" product, I wrote an email to Pat Goss of Goss' Garage that plays on "Motor Week." He had absolutely nothing good to say about the product.

Default Which spark plug?

A spark plug is a spark plug. And a dyno won't show one bit of differece between one brand and another. So you might as well run the same kind of spark plugs that came in your car. AC Delco's.

Just about what I think also, tried them and didn't think much of them.

I had looked into those plugs some time ago and did a little research, I couldn't find much of anything that supported their numbers.

If a simple plug could yield that much power there would be so many more plug companies jumping on this band wagon long time ago.
