EnerPulse Pulse Plugs
I installed them and go faster. No dyno or times but my engine sounds and feels crisper and more powerful, I go through gears faster, and my butt dyno says they were worth doing. I replaced original plugs at 46,000 miles. For $150 I give two thumbs up!

Interesting...I'd love to see dyno numbers. It's real easy to swap plugs with your car still on the dyno.

Re Pulse Plugs
I used to have a '95 Porsche 911. I loved that car... it had two spark plugs per cylinder and ran sweet as anything. I've always compared my G to it (with a little disappointment at first but it's an unfair comparison.) Anyway... for what it's worth, my G's engine seems just a bit more like that Porsche 3.6 motor now with the pulse plugs installed. I know this is all subjective and I haven't dynoed but it is my firm opinion. I think I probably felt a comparable increase in power as from the plenum spacer, maybe more. The combination of intake mods, pulse plugs and flywheel have combined to make me quite happy with throttle response and power even with the stock exhaust still in place. I haven't spent much on power, other than the flywheel and clutch (which needed replacement anyway), under $600 for the plenum spacer, Z-Tube, K&N filter, throttle body heater bypass ($2!) and plugs. I probably want to advance the base timing a degree next. Does anyone know if an ECU reflash is available in Atlanta?

I don't believe the hype. Changing out plugs at 40k miles will make an improvement no matter what the brand.
These butt dyno reviews are worthless when evaluating claimed gains of 5-10 hp-I'd like to see some real world complete dyno testing with various "performance plugs". Until then, I still think these pulse plugs are snake oil.

Sagemark,
Don't need to pay to reflash the ECU, you can search here and get the details on resetting it. That's if you're just wanting it non 'tuned' or 'remapped'.

I don't blame you. I'd like to dyno test too but can't be bothered with time and expense. I can say only that I decided to try this particular snake oil and they seemed to help. Seemed less risky than a grand on an exhaust that could help or hurt... Call me a sucker. I did not get an improvement in mpg. I still get 15-16 city but that's due to my driving habits.

The heat thing is a myth if you are interested. My G35 Coupe has never even hit the middle of my temp gauge. I have been running them for about 4k miles and not a single issue with heat. The gas mileage was incredible. Went from 14-16 mpg to a solid 20-24. I agree with the power thing to. They really feel like every drop of fuel is being used in the most effective manner.

Seems like there's little concensus as to whether these things work or not. What's the best pricing on-line that anyone's found? I'm trying to decide on NGKs or these. Mod gurus, what do you guys think? Reality or hype?

They hype is around the HP gains. The fact is that they do not run "hotter" than the NGK. They will help improve your gas mileage. You will get a minor boost in horsepower until your ECU corrects the fuel air mixture. At that point you will see the gas milage gains. Buy them direct and they will offer you excellent customer service. One of my plugs broke during install, they overnighted me 2 new plugs... Great customer service and real MPG gains. You might see a little more pep in your engine, but there will not be any huge HP gains...

Enerpulse Plugs failed
As followers of this thread know, I installed these about a year ago and liked them. Since then, I have put about 15k miles on them. I found they seemed to increase power slightly, but I didn't get mileage gains.
My engine started missing last week. I went and bought a set of NGK's and pulled the Enerpulse plugs out for inspection. The center electrodes were badly worn an all, and one was gone! The gaps on the other five were about .050-.065. They were adjusted to .040 on installation, per the instructions which state never to exceed that gap, even though our engine specifies .043. I haven't contacted the company yet. I read the warranty I expect that they will replace them but not refund. I will not be reinstalling these because reliability is more important than the power gain. I haven't got time for this.

If anyone wants to buy a new set of these I expect I'll have a new set for sale soon.
