Hi Tech Sparkplugs .... Pulstar

Has anybody tried these new sparkplugs?

http://www.pulstarplug.com/index.html

Would they be worth $25 a piece?

Is there any significant improvement?

There's a guy over on customtacos.com that ordered them and plan to have them dynoed when he gets them installed. IMO, I really don't think they are worth the $25, I'll just stick to my $4 dual electrode plugs from Denso.

For the Neon SRT-4 crowd, the only people who don't like these plugs are the ones who haven't bought a set yet. Those people always seem to know everything. As for the guys that have bought these plugs, there haven't been a negative review yet. Most of them have said that they are sold and will only use these plugs from now on. I will be trying me a set in the near future to see how they will perform in my setup.

Seems like for a Camry 5s-fe 4 cyl, the miles per gallon improvement would only be 2 or 3 %, or maybe 7-10 additional miles per tank of gas, which is kind of marginal, considering the cost. If you had a V6, you would get a little more boost.
