so, who's gonna be the first to try these out?

http://www.gizmag.com/go/7594/

would anyone seriously consider this? sounds like alot of marketing hype.

"Pulstar’s difference lies in its built-in pulse circuit, which stores the ignition's electrical power and then discharges it in an intense plasma ball." hahaha!

I have no idea what kind of performance gains you could get by improving spark plug efficacy; and would these achive those gains, if at all possible.

any thoughts?

In case anyone didn't notice, the picture is a computer model. I don't quite understand how it stores the energy. Does this mean it doesn't fire as often? Which would kill your engine.

It does, the link above explains it well. Sounds pretty convincing, for $25, might be willing to try them for my drive back to PA.

It's just a capacitor, which is what the coil packs are already.

its funny they dont just say the "pulse circuit" is a capacitator, but just describe the function of one.
