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? |

So, am i the only one that read through the website?
Not for or against this product, but on a few of their pages they have links to articles from magazines that claim to have done independent tests of these plugs. They also have a dyno run using their testing method (emphasis: their). Not sure how they pan out but I'd be willing to try em out in my bike if they make them small enough. Waiting for a response back, still. |
