Re: Anyone tried NEW pulstar spark plugs?

Champion plugs, Advanced auto parts not in stock, can order, auto zone had them in stock, napa always had them in stock.

For curiosity sake I emailed the pulstar site with the champion part number to see if they had a cross reference, no reply as of yet.

Still no reply back from manufacture, looks like thay do not have a marine application for this spark plug.

Another issue you frequently run into with this type of specialty plug is the limited number of heat ranges. This results in not having the correct plug for your application, but they suggest one anyhow. This can lead to fouled plugs, carbon build up and possible damage if it's too cold, if it's too hot, it may burn a hole in the piston or create other issues. So there are many downsides to trying them and few benifits. Every one of the marketers of a new type or style of plug says you will get better fuel mileage and more HP, after some independent testing it normally shows there is no advantage.

Yeah, I've come across these plugs surfing the internet, they look impressive, but you gotta wonder if they really do anything? All I know is, I tried those "Splitfire" plugs when they first came out yrs. ago in my 88' Monte Carlo SS, and the heat range was a universal design for a few different engines, the body was huge, and all they did was cause my engine to run hotter, and ping some, even when I went to super unleaded gas, from 89 octane. They actually held a lot of heat long after the engine cooled down! I didn't notice any appreciative boost in performance, so within 30days I took them back for a "money back refund", and put the stock plugs back in.
