Default Pulstar

DragSport published results of dyno testing of for these new Pulstar plugs.

Anyone has a copy of the article?

http://www.dragsport.com/issue/2008/0308_tech.shtml

Some google searches turned up.

and
http://www.sparkplugs.com/sparkplug411.asp?kw=SRT%2D4+Dyno+Results&mfid= 0&KID=3095

So, power, torque, smoothness, fuel effecieny.
Hmmm, maybe someone should give these a try and see if they are worth it.

regards

YOu are apparently too young to remember the Splitfire scam....

The Corvette guys already went through this test and the exagerated claims were bogus.

Default :-) Quite happy with my NGK Laser aka double Platinum.

They will stay for a while unless I need a colder one.

Otherwise, I am leaning towards the consistent NGK Iridium IX in the test above.

But, it seems they do not make them for our cars!

I am not that young, Steve ;-)

Their inventor, Mr. Krupa is now up to what appears to be an even better gimmick.

Also quite interesting.

Default Bwaha.....In the old days (again)...>>

They called these guys Gypsy's....:-)

I love this line:

"When I put a half a loop on the grounding side, it seemed to fire a little better. Then I took the head of a screw and bashed it with a hammer until it took a dome shape. Then I took the other side and dimpled it, creating a concave--an inverted dome, really. I carefully balanced that battered dome on top of the electrode of the new plug that I had filed to accommodate it, and then I put a half a ring over it for the negative electrode, again holding all that together with toothpicks. And when it started firing, the amount of energy coming off the plug was just crazy, and I said to myself, 'I've really got something here!'
"But I was inspired to do this because I just knew there had to be a better way. That's why spark plug companies hate me. They've got millions and millions of dollars tied up in research departments and I was able to come up with the FireStorm prototype in my basement in just under two hours."

sounds like a freakin Modshack invention...:-)
