Hey guys question about new Pulstar Plugs
Has anyone tried these? I was just wondering because it does make sense. http://www.pulstarplug.com/howtheywork.html
they tested out a few cars and the MPG went up from anywhere from 3-10% Not bad, and HP went up and acceleration time.

Look legit? I think they wont really do anything except gas mpg since the stock plugs so make enough power?
I sense a experiment.. :P Also they have a 30 day guarantee

Do the math. The claimed improvement is virtually nonexistent.
The closest analog in that test to an Integra is the Corolla.
They claim a 2.2 percent improvement in fuel economy.
That car is rated by the EPA at 26/35 mpg.
So, if you run the numbers.. they saw:
26 x 1.022 =26.572 mpg in the city
35 x 1.022 =35.770 mpg on the highway
You can spend $100 far more wisely if you want to save gas.
Consider things like a proper alignment, inflating the tires to spec, changing the oil, replacing the oxygen sensors (if they're as old as the car) taking unneeded weight out of the car — and most importantly — reforming your driving style.
Secondly, the claimed 10 percent improvement in HP and 5 percent improvement in torque is so miniscule, it's comical. We're talking about less than 2hp and less than 1 lb-ft of torque on the Corolla's motor.
Looks like a horrid waste of money to me.

Same junk by nology just wires. Capacitor whatevers.
I think its all fake. I wonder if all the plugs where gaped the same? I would have to be there to believe it.
I know on the civic hybrids thy use a low roiling resistance tire. sucks for handling but hay just adding on ^^^^^^^^^^^^ to what he said.
