Muscle cars of the past have a special place in the heart of every American; they are fast, sexy and instantly take you to a time and place most of us only see on television. “Muscle” cars are a class of full sized performance vehicles originally inspired by the Pontiac GTO and Chevy Camaro. Today they include the Chevrolet Corvette and the Ford Mustang. What they all have in common is a large V8 engine usually generating over 300 horsepower.
Needless to say, these large engines like their gas! The more fuel an engine takes in usually relates to a higher percentage of greenhouse gases released in to the air. Until now, Pulstar™ pulse plugs is a unique solution to this issue, now we can keep our beautiful ‘muscle’ car and still promote cleaner air.
I know the first question: I have a “muscle’ car because I like to go fast. But just how much performance will I lose?
Not to worry, dynamometer tests show that the Pulstar™ CB1 pulse plug has demonstrated its ability to increase horsepower in “muscle” cars by up to 11 percent, making it a highly sought after performance enhancement. And that’s not all; the pulse plug (model CB1) also improves fuel economy by an average of 8% in these gas thirsty vehicles. It seems counter-intuitive to think of a “muscle” car in fuel economy terms, but in reality the “muscle” in “muscle” cars is used less than 2% of the total driving time.
The majority of the time they operate in normal driving mode, offering an enormous opportunity to save fuel. Because of their large piston displacement, they can actually save more fuel with Pulstar™ than a small four cylinder engine already designed for fuel economy.
If you haven’t heard anything about the pulse plug yet let me fill you in, this is one of the simplest modifications you can do to your “muscle” car that has the largest increase in both performance and fuel efficiency. You replace your current spark plugs with pulse plugs. That is where the magic happens.
The Pulstar™ pulse plugs were developed as a drop-in replacement for all spark plugs, including so-called high performance spark plugs. They are designed to more efficiently ignite the fuel in an engine’s cylinders, which increases horsepower, torque and dramatically improves fuel economy. Pulse plugs look and fit like spark plugs, but unlike spark plugs, contain an integral capacitor, which dramatically boosts peak spark power from 50 watts in spark plugs to 1,000,000 watts.
I find this invention to be absolute genius, instead of taking these legendary cars off of the street, we can now easily convert them to be much more eco-friendly with a simple modification. We have to change our spark plugs anyway … I know I’ll be changing all of mine out with pulse plugs! For most of us, our cars are a large part of our identity. It only makes sense to me to use the best.

Did the latest gas price surge keep your beautiful luxury car in the garage more than on the road? I’m sure we haven’t seen the end of high gas prices - this was the second time this decade alone!
Now that prices are low and we aren’t forced to take drastic measures with our cars, it is the perfect time to look at fuel saving options for your luxury car. There are a few things you can do that will help improve gas mileage. For instance, you should endeavor to keep your tire pressure at the...
•Clearing Up Outlandish Expectations of the Pulstar Pulse Plug
It is unbelievable the lengths people will go through to attempt to disprove a products success. I have seen videos saying the pulse plug was supposed to ‘transform’ their car, or that the product fell apart upon delivery. I wasn’t there, so maybe there was a plug that got damaged in delivery; but to say that the entire company is rampant with low quality is quite a stretch.
I am writing with firsthand experience, and there was no promise that the product would make a racing machine out of my...
•12 Steps To Maximize Your Next Tune Up
The phrase ‘tune up’ is actually a bit vague for many people who own vehicles. Some say that a tune up consists of changing your oil, air filter, spark plugs and may also include belt inspection. Others say that you should even change your transmission fluid… so who is right?
Here is a comprehensive list of steps you should consider doing every 30,000 to 40,000 miles (review your owner’s manual for manufacturers recommendation) to keep your engine running smooth and to minimize the chances for...
•Is Any Spark Plug Really Worth 25
I never put much thought into spark plugs, until a gentleman said to me “why would you put a $10 spark plug in to a $10,000 engine?”
It stopped me instantly, and then made me realize that this little part that I had dismissed all my years of owning automobiles had a much more important function than I had given it credit for. Without it the engine doesn’t run, if it isn’t set correctly the engine either doesn’t run or misfires. Understanding the task a spark plug has in the engine was...
•Offsite Document Storage is a Greener Solution For Business Archiving
Everyone is looking for a better way to do business, save money and be ‘greener’ to help save the planet. Not many have started looking at their existing storage room of archives as a way to meet all of the above business goals.
I’m talking about companies that must maintain the physical copy of a record for a given amount of time before it can be destroyed. A common issue with an internal document storage solution is that it takes a dedicated employee to maintain the status of each and every...
