Default Pulstar Pulse Plugs...hp gain?????

I came across a spark plug replacement product called "PULSE PLUGS" the claim is that the plugs improve hp, fuel economy, and torque. Has anyone ever heard of this product?

By the way the plugs are about $25 EACH!!!

I have mentioned something in other posts on this site, but will repeat again.

From what I see, these remind of Nology's HotWires, which are very popular in Mexico City (high altitude, bad gas) meaning that HC (hydrocarbon or unburnt gas) counts on emissions test will be higher than say in the U.S. (better gas, majority of population closer to sea level). As such, I could see such plug having some use where I live, but I am not confident much greater improvement in a U.S. setting.

I considered trying these plugs out (in place of my TorqueMasters that work quite well), but after realizing that my HC counts are already in the teens (pretty good considering I just have a high flow cat, no precats), not sure if paying $25 a plug would be worth the test.
