"Has anyone ever tried these out? I just came across them the other day. Has a wierd ass electrode on it, that supposedly increases combustion efficiency or something.
Can anyone back up their claims with actual usage? "

Hi! I am new to this forum, and new to the 08 Aveo LS! I have been looking to get all the additional power out of my car as possible! Speaking of sparkplugs... has anybody had any experience with Pulstar or Denso plugs? Both claim a slight increase in hp... especially the Pulstar, which boasts like 10x as much energy as a regular sparkplug. I am also considering cold-air intake... Ontarian Frog, you mentioned something about "leaning out" any attempt to enrich the A/F mixture if it is in "closed loop"... What would be necessary to get the max out of a cold air intake? I have looked at MANY engine chips on the market... Best so far looks like SLR Motorsports. Would the chip make any adjustments needed for me? Providing it works properly? Any info on any of these items would be greatly appreciated! =]
I tested pulstar plugs for a while and there was no noticeable difference in power or gas mileage. After about a year one of the plugs failed and I went back to regular plugs.
If you want more power, don't waste your time hunting down expensive spark plugs.
Sweet, Daox! Thanx... That seems to be what a lot of people say; whether or not they notice a power increase, most people who have left'em in for awhile have had problems... Gonna stick with AC Delco or NGK!
