I havent had time to really research this but at first glance this seems to be the best spark plug on the market. Here is a link so read it for yourself and take it for what its worth. They are very pricey but may be worth it in the long run. Let me know what you guys think.

It just looks like another gimmick spark plug to me.

I usually would agree with you but i got this from a very legit website. It was pureenergysystems . com. I encourage everyone to take a look at that website. There is a great article on there about increasing your fuel economy by adding acetone to your fuel. Here is the article and below is a site with a bunch of testimonials. Like i said, read it throughly and take it for what its worth.

The Pulstar spark plugs have been debated over and over on this forum. Do a search and you'll see several threads.

Ok so like i said, i didnt really get time to look into it yet but what i read sounded good. I think the article on acetone is legit though. What do you think about that?

Do you work there or something, seems like you are pushing the product pretty well.

If the spark is intense enough to ignite the fuel, what good does it do to make it more intense? I don't follow that logic.

Seems to me that extending the spark's duration might provide a more complete burn, but increasing the intensity at the expense of duration isn't going to do anything.

Increasing the intensity of the spark, regardless of duration, isn't going to increase the power generated from combustion.

Over and over? I only found one thread:

https://www.camaroz28.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=525685

Regardless, it came up easily in a search for "pulstar".

I've seen them mentioned several times over the last year or so, but I just glossed over the threads.

Yall are missing out!!! With these and a Turbonator I got a good 100hp more. Oh, and don't forget the stickers, there were good for half the 100hp.

Can you just buy the stickers?
Hell, if they're good for 50 hp, I'd be happy just to have them!

What about the "E3" plugs

I saw "dyno-ed" on HorsePower TV the other day???

They claimed 6 hp?? (or something) over "another popular performance brand" of spark plug...

Yes, I did read JakeRobb's comment about spark intensity and duration... No, I don't understand the thought process. (not busting 'nads... seriously, I'd like a more detailed explanation as to why a more powerful spark... even over the same duration.... wouldn't improve burn... I guess you're saying "the fuel is ignited... how much more ignition can you get?"

Anyway, just curious..

thx

Yep, that's basically what I'm saying.
