Pulse Sparkplugs

So I've been doing some reseach on the Pulstar Sparkplugs, because a buddy of mine wants to get some and they actually seem pretty legit. There was a independent dyno test that showed a gain of 5.7hp increase with the Evo IX. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with these.

so far both Dsport Magazine and Modified Magazine have dyno tested these.

Dsport found a gain of 5.7 hp when using a EVO IX

Modified Magazine found a gain of 10hp on the 350z <- I find that number hard to believe though.

I'd suggest to get bi-polar fuel line magnets first.

The hp gain was probably because the original plugs were in bad shape.

STOP!!! do a simple search on here. there are a few threads where the pulsar plugs were used in an evo and it destroyed the engine. DO NOT BUY.

i tried searching but couldnt find anything on these. I'm not planning on buying any at this time, I was just curious about them, and got into one of my research moods. Thanks for clearing things up. I'll be sure to spread the word that these are bad. Thanks again.

Do you think you could provide a link to the thread. Im curious to read it.

Are you sure these magazines aren't in cahoots with Pulstar?

Also, it's been said before. Those dyno numbers could also be within the expected + or - confidence levels of the dyno they used to run the tests.
