I was curious about these plugs... A lot of people think that its snake oil. And they cost 100 per plug. The power gain/dollar ratio is not that great IMO. I would say go with the AFE intake, which is less cash than buying 6 or 8 of these plugs. Just my 2 cents...
Pulstar plugs are $25 each, which would be $200 for me....
I had a look at some other dyno tests and think there might be minimal gains.

Not sure how much weight to put into these results...but more than the manufacturers results I think. $200 is just outside of my "oh what the hell if it doesn't work" budget for possibly 5hp, so I think I'll wait although it sounds a lot better than spending about $300 and losing 20hp!!!

Dude, are serious? 
Do you work for AFE or something b/c I thought it was common knowledge now that the AFE CAI does not add hp... it actually subtracts hp...

My brain is drained out, I think I need to get some sleep.

Also, any doors you don't use on a daily basis... I would lose those. Maybe a haircut too 
You do this and everything else ppl have suggested and I guarantee your car will feel just as fast if not faster as it would using those spark plugs and the AFE intake

lol.. yo you guys are too much but on a serious note, I bought these plugs less than a month ago and I have no regrets. I definitely feel an improvement as far as ....lets say....when you put in your Sprint Booster for the 1st time. Now as far as hp gains & gas mileage improvement, I cant really give you exact numbers, but I was really impressed the way my whip responded when I hit the gas.

Same here! I have Pulstars on my car for 3 months. The true numbers I don't know but yes it improves the gas (got about 60-90 more kms)
