Question Quick question (Pulse Plugs)

So an ad for something called "pulse plugs" caught my eye in a science and technology magazine, Id never heard of them before but they claim to be a huge improvement over spark plugs.

obviously if that was true the automotive manufacturers would be the first to jump on this product

they claim to increase fuel economy, HP, and tq..."10 times more powerful than a spark plug"

this looks like a bunch of BS, just wondering if anyone else has seen these and know if they actually do increase power and fuel economy, or if its a too good to be true....thing...

BS

anyways, the 8 has uniquely designed plugs that you need to stay with - NGK or Denso

glad you asked before putting them in. The NGK's are still the best route to take for most 8 owners.

Just out of curiosity, what do these magical spark plugs go for?
