i'm using pulstars at the moment
i got be-1's for my ka. be-1's are good for ngk bcpr or bkr 5,6, or 7 heat range, if you run a colder plug like an 8, then you get the little coil over plug deal and continue using your 8 spark plugs.
i put mine in and it does seem a little more peppy, gas mileage did improve a little as well, and once you buy 4, you get a coupon for 25% off your next purchase, so for my 4 banger at $100 a set, i get 1 free plug next time.
i would like to take my car to the dyno with regular ngk bkr5e's @ .044 gap and do a run, then swap in the be-1's @ .044 gap and see for myself what the difference is.
you know how in the picture it gives a regular spark plug spark and it says by it "50 watt" then it has the pulstar plug next to it, with a spark that kind of looks like an led. and under it it says "1,000,000 watt". well just to be a smart ass, i put a regular plug into cylinder 1, and connected the pulstar to my spark plug wire and grounded the electrode to my valve cover to see if the spark really flashed like that........and well.....the spark looked exactly the same as a regular $1.89 ngk......
i also have a blaster coil as far as my external ignition coil goes so that should've helped as well....but it looked the same....
the idle does seem a bit smoother, that much is noticeable, and since my car is only 2000 pounds i would definately notice a 10-15hp increase......it may be in my head but it does truly feel a tad faster. once i do the dyno comparison on my own motor, i'll post up. but all in all it's only $100 and i wanted to see for myself.
i'll keep ya posted,
