Pulse plugs..., who's heard of and/or using them? Options

[dbgriffith75]

So I was at the auto parts store today picking up some new tools, and as I was standing at the counter I noticed a layout advertisement for a newly designed spark plug called a "pulse plug." Basically its the same concept as a spark plug, only with an added internal capacitor to create a spark 10 times more powerful than your average plug. It's supposed to burn feul more efficiently, resulting in increased mileage, HP and torque.

I was just curious if anybody's heard of and/or using them, and if it actually holds up to the claims? I'm not specifically talking about a 914 either, because I wouldn't mind using them in my DD if it's really true.

Here's the website I found on them: http://www.pulstarplug.com

Thoughts?

I see that this plug has been branded as "snake oil" and the such. But how about the products which provide for a multiple spark (Crane Ignition). Or how about the Bosche "Blue" coil, which is supposed to provide a "fatter" spark (whatever that is)? Or even the expensive spark plug wires that contain an in-line capacitor (Nology)?

If your engine is really tuned correctly, is any of this stuff really necessary? It seems to me that a properly tuned engine wouldn't need any of these "improvements", but does that make all of these "snake oil"?

Just a thought... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
