I saw that ad in popular science, I decided it must not work or there would be a real article about it. Has anyone tried them?

You may get an increased peak output, but tbh it's snake oil - if you get a strong spark (and from a coilpack, believe me, you get an arm-numbing spark) it's not really going to make that much difference. Under the physics laws - the plugs can only output LESS energy than put in... the amount of burn energy provided ... and the timing delay (remember your phase shift calculations!) cannot be good!
Most of the quoted 'power increases' are probably swapping worn/dirty plugs for new...
Also their policy on Debit card transactions would make me nervous!

Maybe it's Chinese watts that they didn't convert to American watts (100 US$=710 Yuan).
A thousand watts might have been a bit more realistic.
Wait... they say Enerpulse makes them and they only sell them. http://www.enerpulse.com/
Enerpulse's claims are a bit more realistic, saying ten times more powerful and something about stability.

Yah, but they still claim a 1 MW pulse. And this by adding a capacitor.
Gimme a break.

Mighty pricey.....
They are $25 each. Who wants to spend $150 - 200 each time you have to do a tune up?
