Hare is a link to some incredible spark pluks. They are designed with the same principle as a high voltage mallory type ignition pack. Bought a set car runs better and I picked up 2.2mile on frwy. and 1.5 in town. They have a hassle free return if yiu don't like them. They are exspensive though. But baby deseves the best.
Reliability and consistency is what you want from a spark plug that, after all, lives in a fiery he11-hole of a home only to ignite an air-fuel mixture. I will take a good NGK plug any day over a Flux Capacitor Plug and Super Swirly Intake device.

what a load of $&(*&@#$(* !!! these plugs are supposed to deliver "10 times greater energy" than any other spark plug due to some capacitors on board. I'm no engineer, but I seem to recall that more energy = more heat, and "hotter" plugs are not always "better" plugs. These plugs have only one place for the arc to occur vs. our stock Cayman plugs than have 4 spots for the arc to occur or even multi-arc capability. I would never replace my standard Porsche plugs with these things...
I concur, that swirly vortex and intake and gas mileage "pills" come from the same shelf as these things...

I am an engineer. Just not the right kind. Though I do work with electronics, for wireless chipsets not for cars.
A capacitor in the spark plug could increase the energy of the spark by a factor of ten. But it would do it by storing energy for some period and then generating a bigger spark. Depending on details (i.e. how many farads of capacitance) this could be a big delay. (Big in engineering terms -- micro to milliseconds.) Not being an engine designer I don't know if that size of delay would matter or not.
There was a link above to an article that showed a power increase for different spark plugs including this one. But I would be interested in seeing what the increase was after a longer period, they showed three runs (cold, warm, hot) with decreasing power for each. How long does this continue? Wast the hot run at steady state temperature or still warming up the engine? And does it vary based on engine? (i.e. is the best plug in an Evo the best plug in a Porsche?) Does the plug with the highest cold horse power still produce more power when steady state temperature is reached or are you better off with one with lower cold horse power? Like most horse power adders, a lot more objective testing is required to prove what is/isn't achieved.
Being a chicken $%^& I doubt I will be the one to find out. I'll let someone do a long term test before I'll try them. (Of course the first step is getting a CS, hopefully next spring.)
Without launching into a scientific study of why Pulstar's claims are likely full on crackpot - question why you are experiencing improved fuel economy.
I could re-write an ECU map that would improve your gas mileage by thinning out your AF mixture, but you would be sorry I did after a couple of thousand miles.
Got a set for my truck was impressed with the gain in mileage they are rediculously priced as far as HP I don't think we have advanced in miniturization that far yet are you would see funny car and rails with one distributer and a lack of a high voltage system. If they don't work out I send them back But I won't knock it till I use or see it.
Yep they could work, but considering that capacitors are for the most part pretty cheap, why are the plugs so expensive and why aren't any other plug manufacturers doing this?

If I knew that Heck I'd be making them! After it is all said and done maybe they will be like those hangover pills and as far as my milage could be a better batch of gas. They in the end 30 days that will most probably go back I'm thinking Ken is right.
You would also have to accept the premise that Porsche has a deficiency that requires this "fix". Cannot think of what that could be and I'm guessing neither does Porsche.
The dyno runs on sparkplug.com are all within the margin of error so as far as I'm concerned, they're all, at best, equal.
If you've got the right heat range of plugs for your car, your car is well tuned and running the right A/F ratio, and the spark plug ignites the mixture, then spark plug design isn't going to make any difference. The energy is in the fuel, not the spark.
So as several have said, the only thing that gets better is that company's wallet. Most of these kinds of testimonials are equivalent to the placebo effect.
No offense to anyone on the list who likes these plugs but these are my conclusions after a lifetime of playing with cars, building engines, and using my engineering degree.
Until 
Pulstar Plugs
