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?

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.

Sorry... I should have been clearer apparently. Magazines are not independent. Only journals that do not accept advertising are independent. For instance a magazine does an article on cleaning and blueprinting fuel injectors and outlines the power improvement. In the magazine an advertisement appears for a company that cleans and blueprints fuel injectors. So, an intelligent person has to wonder did the fact that the popular magazine obtains income from the company effect the stated result of their "independent" tests? The fact that you can question a motivation for a result obtained means that the testing is tainted. So, from a scientific perspective you must at the least cast a jaundiced eye on the result. I'm not saying that what a magazine finds is worthless but it doesn't rise to the level of science which was my point and the point of others who made comments such as "snake oil".
Yes, I read it. I just understood it from a different perspective. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
