Pulstar Spark Plugs?

Has anyone installed these yet? if so, any power gains that you can feel and/or gas mileage improvement?

If any of you are interested in purchasing these use Coupon code 0031 to get a nice discount good through 4/1/08.

Beware: Pulstar™ Pulse Plug Model: DG-1 DOES NOT FIT on the HR motor.

I bought a set of these and used their website to select the 07 G35 with the HR motor. The part# comes back as DG-1. I went to install them this morning and the thread and nut size were too big. The stock plugs use a 15mm socket to remove. The DG-1's needed a 16mm. The problem is a 16mm socket doesn't fit in the plug shaft all the way down. I thought I was trippin and I took one out to compare and what do you know, the thread circumference was larger than stock. Had to put everything back together and chalk it up as a failed install. Now I'll be going back to Pulstar to let them know the plug is wrong, to correct their site and try and get a set that fits. Hey maybe they'll give me a set for free for the hassle.

Anyways, FYI...

From what I've read/seen on the internet. You'll get about 0-2% gains.

Not worth the risk/$$ IMO. They're like $25/plug.

Iridium (and similarly platinum) is just going to make to make the plugs last longer. You're not going to gain any noticeable power or fuel economy.

I thought Iridium was a better conductor than copper, unlike platinum, which is worse. Platinum is just for longer life, but Iridium may give a tiny performance boost.

100% pure copper (oxygen free) is a better conductor than iridium, but 100% pure copper is not achievable in a spark plug.
