Default Pulstar plugs

I've seen ads claiming 12% hp increase with these Pulstar plugs as well as increased mpg. Anybody here have any experience with these?

It's true - they're magic.


Really, just get yourself some OEM plugs and call it a day.

Search....

https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-...n-results.html

found in two seconds... from 08 when they came out... with dyno.

good luck getting a full set that works on the first try had a lot of issues with quality control/shipping damage

Modified Mag got +10 whp on best run on an 06 rev-up... 12% is utter BS though... most tests show maybe 5-6% on best run but dont say what else was changed on the car.

but not worth the 20$ a plug. just buy 'em and do a proper dyno comparison to see

Not worth it... plain and simple, the cost is way over the return.

I thought that sounded too good to be true. After checking under the hood I'm not sure that I want to put any plugs in it. Maybe the ones in it will last forever. HaHa

From what I was told when considering these plugs, apparently the OE plugs are rated at 100,000 miles before needing to be changed.

My '04 now has just over 101,000 on it. I bought it used so it's probably a good bet that they need to be changed. Is changing them as hard as it looks? I can barely see the ones on the driver's side.
