Pulse Plugs

Saw an add for these in a car mag today, deiced to take a good look at it tonight and it just may not be bunk.

Main site.

blog site with Dynos and links to independent studies.

So now I want to see what you guys' think of it.

Snake oil. You cannot increase the wattage of a spark just by using a capacitance effect. Also, the brightness of a spark in air has no real value in comparing the properties of the spark within a combustion chamber. Makes for nifty marketing materials though. 😛

seconding the snake oil.

Pretty much, they're snake oil. Their claims immediately reminded me of the Nology plug wires' claims...almost exactly. I read some dyno tests of them, and pretty much any gains they might show fall well within the range of they dyno's margin of error. 3-6 HP, in most cases I read.

Sparkplugs.com did a dyno test on some truck of several leading brands...there was about a 3hp spread between them all. That is insignificant. Not even worthy of mentioning the difference.

ESPECIALLY since these plugs you're talking about are freaking 25 bucks APIECE.

You'd be much better off spending your money elsewhere.
