Pulstar Spark Plugs?

Anyone tried the new Pulstar spark plugs? They're supposedly a new ignition device that replaces spark plugs and increases peak spark current by up to 20,000 times as compared to spark plugs.

What do you think? Do they work? More spark is a good thing right?

They're a gimick. They change the long duration stock spark and squeeze it all down into a super short duration higher voltage spark. This, in a rotary, isn't always a good thing due to the very fast moving air fuel mixture whizzing by the spark plugs. What happens is the ultra-short duration spark basically doesn't have enough time to ignite very much of the mixture. You see, voltage isn't the main concern in rotaries; it's the spark duration. These spark plugs reduce the duration.

I wouldn't bother with 'em personally, even boosted. No thanks.

Hah, too funny. I've been around awhile but don't give anyone ****. I'm gonna change now based on your smart-assed remark though. Kidding of course
