BS or......?
 
Dan - Without even going to their web site, I must say that those claims seem other worldly... As a gear head and the son of a mechanical engineer, I hafta say: "If it seems to good to be true.......it is"
 
I call BS! Unless there is some kind of capacitor built into them the multiplies spark I don't see any possibility to realize those claims. Even if it did multiply spark somehow the fuel charge remains the same. The exhaust system cannot flow any better by changing plugs. 12% by the way is a very big improvement. I just don't see any way it could give you even half that gain. Adding the relay coil mod is probably your best bang for the buck.
 
50 watts to 1 million watts...with no additional heat generated - I don't see how... That million watts has to come from the coils. At 12 volts, you need 83,333.3 amps, so...long jumper cables from Hoover Dam?

It would be nice, but...
 
How do you get a bigger spark with no increase in heat?

Pulse Plug Technology goes OEM links me to a big white blank page that says "pageok."

The flame kernel growth video would result in some bigass pinging without some serious engine mods.

:cheeky:
 
:clapping: I just trim the ground electrode back even with the hot electrode and get a wider spark. Cranks easier and more power. MPG improvement to be announced. :good:
 
Might as well get some of this stuff too....

Back in the bad old days mechanics used to file the plug electrodes. I'd always thought it was just to clean them. I later learned the spark bridges the gap easier if both surfaces have sharp edges.
 
Up to, if your old plugs were in a really worn state, your mileage could easily jump 4 MPG, that's 10-12% on most bikes. :hihihi:
 
I don't know about those plugs as the only pricier motorcycle plug I used was an NGK iridium plug strictly for longevity sake.

I did however try an E3 sparkplug in a notoriously hard to start 2 stroke weedeater. I made a dramatic starting difference over a convention sparkplug. Instant starting on that old 2 stroke weedeater did get my attention.
 
NGK irridiums are very good plugs.
One 1100 engine I had had a damaged oil ring and smoked a lot. Standard plug would foul where the irridium wouldn't. $10 each is steep but I think worth it. They last a lot longer too.
Our Burb with 110,000 miles the irridium were not very worn. I did replace them though.

Surprisingly not. They gapped loose at their intended gap.
