http://www.pulstar.comthey seem like they're some pretty nice plugs, but can anyone justify spending $25 a plug on em? they make em in heat ranges 5-7 so you can get em for your n/a or f/i setup. they'd give you a noticeable difference on a tuned boosted car it seems, based on tests by modified mag and others. but still, $100 for plugs...i dunno about that. what's your opinion?

doesn't seem worth it since in the life of the plug you won't save that much money in fuel spending etc. Platinum plugs are rated for 100,000 miles or something but that's based on a temp of 70 degrees and like 5 percent humidity. Nobody drives in those conditions all the time. So they still are bad sooner then that. I would save my money. Just my opinion. Whatever that's worth

lol@$100. spark plugs..dude save the cash for sumpin worth it..like a new used set of rear eatup rubbers to burn!...if your racing in your car on a circut and its a dedicated track car..then id say upgrade the ignition system..other wise its not really worth investing in any igntion past oem for just DD'ing.....if your planning on making a real race car little by little..then id sugest you spent the money more wisely on say a bushing upgrade.....

think of this as a warning , like in the movies "bugs life" with the moth and the bug zapper..."Dont go to the light!"...lol..good luck homie
