    Put these in my Pontiac G8 GXP (same motor as the 08+ base Corvette), with CAI, headers etc. Slight MPG (0.5-1.0) and power (4-6hp) gains over the previous NGK TR6, not sure over stockers. Not nothing, but not much on a motor that puts out 495hp at the flywheel. But after 14000 miles they are shot, started getting misfires at light throttle, bucking on the highway, etc. Gap grew from .040 to over .070 on the tightest.

    They would be fine if they were as cheap as copper plugs you swap out annually, but at over double the cost of other iridium plugs, they are nowhere near worth it.

            Very easy to install in a 2001 Ford Escape. I gapped them per manufacturer recommendations. At first I noticed a huge increase in power. Couldn't tell you MPG because I did not get a whole tank on them. After less than 2 weeks my car started skipping. I replaced them with OEM recommended plugs and the skipping stopped immediately. Luckily they do have a warranty and I was able to get my money back for them.

                  I installed a set in a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica that has a Performance Intake and Exhaust installed plus a fuel catalyst for increased MPG. I replaced gapless plugs that were worn out after 50000 miles. When I accelerated swiftly from a stop and the vehicle hit third gear, the torque actually pulled the vehicle forward like it never had. Driving normally brought my lost mileage from the worn plugs back up 2.5mpg where it used to be.

                    After hearing about these plugs I decided to pick up a set for my 04 Bonneville. I set the gap to .054 due to the manufacturer recommendations of not gapping over .055 and could not believe the mileage I was getting. The listed gas mileage of my Bonneville is 21 mpg city, and after installing the Pulstars I got an astonishing 28 mpg city!! I actually recalculated everything 3 times because I thought I was wrong. I did a tune up beforehand, had my injectors cleaned as well as changed the fuel filter so I'm sure that helped as well, but for the 3800 series motor in a 3600 lb car, you can't beat it!

                      Put the adi's in my 3.1l 1996 olds. Daily driving saw an improvement of about 2 mpg. The highway is where they shined. I went from 25 to 31 mpg doing about 75 mph. For changing plugs I think that is amazing! I would and in fact do tell everyone to go get a set. I did notice if I drive hard and accel. fast gas mileage is horrible but there is a deffinate power increase. Drive normal and you'll be happy.

                      Just got the pulstar pulse plugs installed on our Pontiac Torrent 3.4L. Extremely difficult to install on this engine. Three plugs on rear of this FWD six cyclinder had to be installed by a mechanic, no way to get to them. Confusing instructions from different information souces on gapping the plugs. One source advised NOT to gap the plugs as they are preset at factory. Another site advised to gap plugs to manufacturer specs but not more than 0.055. When double checking the gaps as set by factory, they were all over the place, some at 0.045, some at 0.030, and one at 0.025. Make sure to gap them before installing them. Only been two weeks so unknown if it was worth the expense.

                          A:

                          Upgrade the rear leaf springs and shock absorbers by replacing the stock components with heavy duty, aftermarket parts. Increased rigidity in the rear springs will help prevent the back of the pickup from sagging and reduce stress on the rear axle. Replace factory shocks with high-quality, application appropriate shocks to provide more stable vehicle handing when driving in rough conditions with heavy loads. Purchase and install axles and differentials with higher gear ratios and weight ratings. Investing in heavy duty drivetrain components will allow the F-150 to tow heavier loads while eliminating stress on vital components that may fail if loaded with too much weight. Equip the vehicle with a hitch that is rated to withstand, at minimum, the maximum tow rating weight of the vehicle. Class V hitches, the most durable of the tongue-mounted hitches available, are intended to tow loads up to 10,000 pounds. Override the factory fueling, timing and transmission settings of the pickup's electronic control unit by installing a power programmer or chip. Plug the tuner into the F-150's data port or computer module, as required by the specific device. Select a tuning option that is stated to improve towing power. Installation of a programmer intended for your specific model year of F-150 may net a 10% gain in horsepower and torque, allowing the vehicle to haul larger loads with greater ease. For any further assistance please feel free to call us at: 1-877-238-2623 or visit the nearest Advance Auto store and one of our representatives will gladly assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

                          Oops... my apologies to Kevin. It was Dennis to the original question that I was referring. Dennis's response was both inaccurate and poorly (likely not at all) researched.

                          As previously stated in a different response, these Pulstar plugs are made in Albuquerque, New Mexico USA.

                          That other guy's answer (Kevin, I believe) is a total load of garbage. Country of manufacturing origin is NOT highly confidential, despite what he may think. In fact, manufacturing origin is required to be of obtainable public information, BY LAW. Thus, he gave you some nonsensical answer, simply because he does not know and was unwilling to take the needed steps to find out the answer, in order to properly answer your question. As for the integrity of Advance Auto Parts, I'm honestly not suprised at all. Pulstar spark plugs are made assembled, tested, and packaged in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was unable to find out about the actual physical component origins (the raw materials used to build the plugs), as they are likely foreign, like most everything seems to be these days. Check out the FAQ section in Pulstar's website. These capacitor plugs seem pretty amazing, and it will be interesting to see if their claims hold water after hearing more feedback from the "real world".

                          Until recently, platinum was considered the best material to use on the top of an electrode because of its durability. However, Iridium is 6 times harder, 8 times stronger, and has a melting point 1200 degrees higher than platinum. Put that into a harsh environment such as an engine piston chamber, and you have a spark plug that can resist wear much better than platinum. Iridium use represents the most significant technological advance in automotive spark plug manufacturing, since platinum was introduced in the early eighties.

                        Does this contain 2 plugs or 1? The box in the picture says that it contains 2 plugs, but is the price for 2 plugs?

                          The price is for a single spark plug. Each cylinder requires a single spark plug for your vehicle.

                          Look on the VECI (emissions) label that is located somewhere under your hood. Every car has (or had when it left the factory) a VECI label, by law. It will usually have a vacuum line routing schematic, spark plug gap setting, ignition timing setting (if applicable) and some other details. The spark plug gap should be listed there, typically near or at the bottom of the sticker. The label is often found on the top of the radiator core support, fan shroud, or sometimes found on the air cleaner housing. Other locations my be possible. I'm almost certain that your Chevy's (GMC) 4.8L V-8 requires a .060" gap. Don't believe everything you hear (or read) from the internet. There's an awful lot of inaccurate garbage out there.

                        Which iridium spark plug will perform best? I've looked at all of them you offer and this looks best only because it has iridium throughout instead of just at the tip. I've looked for days at all of the brands and just can't decide. I drive a 2003 ford ranger edge 3.0L flex

                          All Iridium spark plugs are basically the same, however Pulstar's are in a category of their own, providing the most energy release of any spark plug on the market today. Pulstar's contain an internal capacitor, which no other brand has. Go to the FAQ section on Pulstar's website to learn more.
