MY PERSONAL REVIEW OF THE PRODUCT AFTER INSTALL:
INITIAL INSTALL:
took me 33mins while bullshitting with my homegirl showing her how to remove decals from her car.
PULSTAR provides you with the Dielectric grease to put on the end of the plug, not a big deal. it comes in a cool box holder thingy, lol
anyway, everything went smooth. ran into no problems.
FIRST START:
the car started extra fast. if anyone is familar with the new grand prix's like how fast they start. i mean i was instant. but anyway.......
the idle bounced up and down for about 30-40secs. then finally leveled out. ran the ac and heat so it could learn the fuel trims and such.
FIRST DRIVE:
no sputtering at all on part throttle. seemed very healthy. part throttle accelaration seemed stronger than before and much more responsive. still very good idle. no bouncing after the initial start up.
first try at WOT she did studder at 3300rpms or so for a split second then continued to climb normally. that was in first gear. hasnt happened since. i blame that on trying to get on her too soon before she relearned the new spark nature. so i continued my drive.
WOT in 1st gear from about 2-4mph. the wheels broke loose repeatedly below 3500rpms........that like 1k lower than usual 4500+ when the VVT kicks in. so i know for a fact more TQ is there in the low end.
WOT in 2nd gear pulls harder to. i did a roll from 30mph to the top of 2nd gear..........got there .3 to .4 secs faster. i timed it. may not sound like much but it is
IE- take a 0-60 time of 6 secs flat. that now turns into 5.7-5.8.
WOT from 1st gear to top of 3rd........definately seems to get there faster than befpore...but thats not the biggest thing i noticed. the car sounds totally different in the upper RPMS. before it almost felt like i was hurting the car to go that high. yea it was still strong up top, but now it sound like thats where it belongs, if u get whatt im saying(its hard to explain it).
HIGH GEAR, LOW SPEED(high load):
4th and 5th gear at about 40-50mph used to seem like a struggle. still takes a minute to get going but........the sound changed as well. not sure why. it does pull smoother. probably a lil quicker to get the RPMs up, but i did not clock those runs.
DECELARATION:
quieter while engine braking.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
although a dyno would definatly show more info than needed. i just did want to spend that dough on that. overall i definatly think it improved IDLE QUALITY, ACCELARATION, ACCELARATION SMOOTHNESS, and overall helped slightly in drivability.
from what i feel these plugs added gains similar to putting a CAI on the 6. like if our 6 came with whatever power im putting out currently. and then i added a CAI. thats basically what this feels like. with the added benefits of a smoother idle and overall smoothness in the upper RPMs, as well as a lot of low end torque that wasnt there prior.
PULSTAR PULSE PLUGS: $169 shipped
CAI for the 6(common ones): $250-550
if my butt dyno is calibrated right. i can say that installing these on my car added about the same HP and TQ that a CAI (not the CPE MAFCI) would add. whats that 10hp, 10tq +/-
again i did not dyno. but what i feel and noticed different in my car. makes me beleive my purchase was justified.
Now as for Gas mileage...we will see. and i will keep you posted on longevity, durability and such. i hope this helps if anyone was looking to get them.

TOTAL PLUGS ACCOUNTED FOR SO FAR:
588 including 4th teir pending buyers
506 plugs total without 4th tier pending buyers
TOTAL PLUGS PAID FOR:
508
PLUG GAPPING: the pulse plugs will come set at or around .044-.045 for a gap. That gap stated by pulstar is not to exceed that for any pulse plug.
IE- if you vehicle manufacturer states the plug gap be set at .050 or anything above .045 for that matter. you will gap the plugs no higher than .045
***if the vehicle manufacturer calls for a gap smaller than .045, for instance. the speed vehicle i believe is supposed to be .030..............that is the gap you set your pulse plugs at****
Now anyone who deals with cars on a regular basis knows that gap can be played with to get better results. if you are not car handy then leave at factory gap, so long as it doesnt exceed .045 which is the recommended limit for these plugs from the maker
ALSO.........these plugs are able to be used as a one step colder plug. For those of your going to boost after theses are in. there is no need to replace them with something else. Just gap them down to get rid of spark blow-out if any is found!
Thanks guys for your patience. Your cooperation is needed for what info i requested be sent with your payment to make this work smoother. so help me out.
