Yes that does sound pretty interesting, very nice website. Just a little tid-bit I found.
CAUTION: Pulstar model recommendations are for stock, unmodified engines. If you have added an aftermarket turbocharger, supercharger, nitrous or any other product that increases displacement or compression to your engine you will require a colder heat range pulse plug in order to avoid possible damage to your engine. For these applications please see our other great product at www.directhits.com or call us at 888-800-6700
I've got some magic beans for you too.
Sweet! ::Banana::Quote:

Yea, that's only double the cost of my Iridium plugs and they last half as long. I'd really like to see how they stack up to hi-perf plugs (ie Bosch Plat4, Splitfire, Denso or NGK Iridium) vs how they perform against old cheapo plugs.Quote:

Sounds like good technology, though.
Ditto here.....for the SM, my best results were with a standard, non-resistor, copper core plug, one heat range colder.Quote:

100k before we're supposed to change them, lol. I don't know if I trust that, but I am still going to buy the Iridiums when I need them. It seems like our ignition system is pretty good, so why mess with a good thing? ;)Quote:

Yeah and for $140 more they will sell you a can of snake oil.
I dislike Honda stealerships. Every other oil change they had to do $475 more "scheduled maintenance" on my Honda. I told them I would do it.
lol, mine has never once asked me if I wanted anything done other than what I went in for. I guess it's all in the relationship you build with the service adviser. I don't talk to anybody else but my regular guy; if he's not there, I come back when he is.
The fancy plugs exist ONLY because California requires a 100k no maintenance required period (other than oil/filter changes), so the EXpensive plugs came to be... not better... just longer lasting.
Interesting. If I had an extra $100 laying about, I’d be willing to buy a set and give it a try. This at least makes more sense to me on a physics level than the tornado or the electric supercharger or the magnets around your fuel line thingy.
But what would you put them in?
RX-8's use ignitors.
TC should try some in his Dodge.
