While there’s plenty of debate about which spark plugs are the best spark plugs, one thing that is certain is that performance spark plugs can boost your horsepower noticeably. This is true of almost all performance plugs, but the best performance spark plugs will give you more power, greater torque, quicker throttle response, and more. We should know, because we designed the best performance spark plugs available on the market today.
Best performance spark plugs for modified engines
When you modify your engine, you want to get the maximum performance possible– and you need performance spark plugs to get you there. Stock spark plugs simply can’t remove the heat generated by your engine like the best performance spark plugs do. Pulstar spark plugs are incredibly efficient at heat transfer, contributing to maximum engine efficiency. Make sure you choose plugs with the right heat rating for your engine.
Best performance spark plugs for reducing maintenance time
Upgrading to high-performance spark plugs might cost a little more upfront, but the long term savings add up fast. Changing the spark plugs on newer vehicles can be time-consuming and difficult– so you should buy the longest-lasting plugs available. Pulstar plugs last longer than cheap spark plugs– at least 50,000 miles.
Running a turbocharger or high-performance engine can mean more combustion residue, which means having to clean off your plugs constantly. This understandably is not an ideal situation but is easily solved with high-quality spark plugs that combust fuel completely, eliminating combustion residue.
The best high performance spark plugs for easy starts and smooth operation
When winter brings slow engine starts, you may notice a dip in your car’s performance. Stock spark plugs struggling in winter run a high risk of fouling. When you upgrade to Pulstar plugs– the best performance spark plugs– you’ll be rewarded with instant winter starts and no more risk of a burnt spark plug.
Another feature of high-performance spark plugs is an immediate improvement in engine performance– from idle quality to smoother engine operation. Our plugs deliver an ultra-high intensity electrical discharge at the gap, providing the most precise timing of any spark plug on the market.

The best high performance spark plugs for gas mileage
Sure, Pulstar’s high-performance spark plugs make driving a pleasure by improving engine performance, but what about when you pull up to the pump? You’ll notice a difference there, too.
Pulstar spark plugs look and install like conventional spark plugs, but on the inside, they’re a different animal altogether. Inside the Pulstar spark plugs is an innovation in combustion technology, developed with the Sandia National Laboratory. Pulstar spark plugs generate the most rapid, powerful, and complete burn possible–resulting in both more power and better gas mileage. The ultra-efficient function of our performance spark plugs not only saves you money on gas, but it also lowers emissions.

Frequently asked questions about spark plugs
How often should I replace my spark plugs?
For best results, you should replace your spark plugs every 50,000 miles under normal driving conditions.
How do I know if one of my spark plugs is fouled?
If your engine misfires, idles roughly or doesn’t run smoothly, one or more of your spark plugs may have become dirty or fouled. Other symptoms of a fouled spark plug include a lack of acceleration, reduced gas mileage and difficulty starting.
Do I still need to gap spark plugs?
Pulstar spark plugs should be gapped to the setting recommended by the engine manufacturer up to 0.055” (1.40 mm). Do not gap greater than 0.055”. For factory turbo or supercharged engines, gap Pulstar spark plugs to 0/025” (0.63 mm).
What happens if I don’t gap the spark plugs correctly?
An engine with spark plugs that are not gapped correctly will not run smoothly and may not have power or misfire.
How often should I replace my lawn mower spark plug?
Lawnmower spark plugs are typically replaced once a year.
Does it help to clean spark plugs?
Spark plugs cannot be cleaned enough to operate as new. It is always best to replace fouled or contaminated spark plugs.
How do I install Pulstar spark plugs?
Pulstar spark plugs install the same way conventional spark plugs are installed. When using a ratchet and socket or similar tool, care should be taken to not put a side load on the ceramic.
What kind of performance benefits can I expect when upgrading to Pulstar spark plugs?
Customers see significant improvements in engine torque, horsepower, fuel economy and emissions. They notice quicker throttle response, smoother operation and improved towing capacity.
How do Pulstar spark plugs produce these performance benefits?
The science underlying our technology is sometimes called pulse power: energy accumulated over time is released quickly producing a very high power event, i.e., a pulse. Our patented technology applies this concept by embedding in Pulstar spark plugs a capacitor to store ignition coil energy prior to discharge, and to drive an ultra-high current channel across the gap when released. That powerful current creates an electromagnetic field that expands through the combustion chamber and ionizes the fuel air mixture, allowing the flame kernel to grow much more rapidly than in a conventional spark plug ignition event. The result is the most precise, powerful, consistent and complete burn possible.
Do you guarantee these performance benefits?
Yes, we do. If you aren’t completely satisfied with your Pulstar spark plugs, return them, together with your dated sales receipt, to the merchant from whom you bought them within 30 days for a full refund of your purchase price.
Do Pulstar spark plugs come with a warranty?
Yes, they do. If your Pulstar spark plugs prove to be defective in materials or workmanship within one (1) year of purchase, return them, along with your dated sales receipt and an explanation of the reason for the return, to Pulstar LLC, 2451 Alamo Avenue SE, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106 and Pulstar LLC will replace them.
