I have heard similar stories from other car nut friends of mine about 
Splitfire plugs. A while back, I believe, the company that makes Splitfire 
plugs lost a lawsuit charging them with false advertising. They had claimed 
big jumps in power and fuel economy just by installing their plugs. I even 
heard of a few people ruining their engines because Splitfire made the plugs 
just a bit too long and when the driver accelerated hard, the plugs would 
expand from the rapid temp increase and punch holes in the pistons. Many 
people think sparkplugs are just sparkplugs but I have learned otherwise from 
my own experience with Brit cars and especially Japanese motorcycles. Bosch 
platinum for all my cars, and NGK only for my bikes.
