Ive never tried them . I use NGK TR 55's and change them out every 30,000 miles

The plugs work best in stock form .Most cars here are modded.They cost about $25 a box but it doesn't say how many in a box.

Pulse plugs incorporate a pulse circuit, which stores incoming electrical energy from the ignition system and releases the stored energy in a powerful pulse of power. Instead of 50 watts of peak power typical of all spark plugs, pulse plugs deliver up to 1 million watts of peak power. So where does the pulse plug get its incredible power?
that's direct from the website, i hope they have a syntax error on their wattage. I don't know whether this is humorous or if I should be pissed at the outright lie and fraud of their product.
putting a million watts, 1 megawatt, thru a spark plug electrode, I'd like to know what material they make their electrode out of. unobtanium? what's a typical power that a tig or mig welder puts out that melts metal? 100 amp at 40v = 4000 watts?
sucker born every second i guess.

just got done taking a crap and realized, holy ****, pulstar just solved the world's energy problems with their 1 million watt spark plug. Their getting a megawatt from a 14vdc 100 amp power source (that's alternator for all you idiots) and releasing 1 megawatt each time the plug fires.
****, the electric car problem is solved. should all be driving one by next month.

the only problem is, with that much power going through the spark plug, at 3000 rpms that's 25 times a second, and with 8 plugs, I know they got the material problem solved for the spark plug electrode but how do we keep the aluminum block and head from turning to liquid?


wait, I got it. we'll do displacement on demand, but all the time!!! Fire only half the spark plugs instead of all 8. Instead of 8 million watts going through the spark plugs 25 times a second, it'll only be 4 million watts. how many btu's is that?

You probably have to run the engine on snake oil. Does it come with an "I'm with Stupid" sticker to put in your enigne bay?

8 million watts is 10730 hp, hell 1 MW is 1341 hp.

gonna throw some pulstars in my ss, take off the ss badge and replace it "8-megawatt"

yeah, megawatt ****
