Default spark plugs

Will my 2006 s2000 with 20,000 on it run any better if I install Pulstar pulse plugs? I have had this car for about two weeks now. It runs great at agressive speeds in every gear but I feel that the car is a bit sluggish when driving at slower speeds.I feel that I need to feel good about driving at slower speeds as my wife keeps hitting my right arm. Thanks.

You might mentally think it will when you put some fresh plugs in, but in reality, most likely not at all. That "sluggish" you feel is probably the torque we don't have.

Unless im mistaken your referring to the lack of torque ? the S2000 is designed to be rapped up past 6200rpm for optimum power. just changing plugs wont really affect performance unless your having misfires. Personally it took a while to realize that having the car over 5-6krpm for city driving wasn't bad thing. Just loud but that's just my opinion

Also I would recommend browsing this section for a while to learn yourself in the ways. Some people can be harsh on topics such as this. Welcome and congrats on your new S

The words "Run any better" could mean several things.

Will it run faster with the Pulstar Plug? Probably not!

Will new plugs (of any kind) make the car run smoother than older plugs? Probably.

I run copper NGK V-Power plugs in ALL my cars.My 03S takes the BKR6E.

Don't get me wrong I'm all for OEM plugs but damn they claim over 7hp on a AP2.
