I wouldn't think of wasting my time and money on those type spark plugs This is based on my racing for many years and my personal expereinces on piston powered airplane engines. Some airplane engines use what is known as massive gap spark plugs (see the picture),they have to be cleaned and regap on every annual or 100 hour inspection. They wear out after about 500 hours The spark plug companies, Champion, came out with fine wire spark plugs and they last 1500 hours + On a race engine you want as much of the flame front exposed to the combustion chamber as you can get, hence the side gap on the extended tip racing spark plugs Save your money and buy a decent wide ban and tune your motor up to help keep the spark plugs clean

The only thing with those plugs is they will last a
long time.. the spark jumps the path of least resistance
and that is 1 of the grounds at any one time and as
you get wear/burn it will jump to another strap but
still only 1 strap at a time.. that 3 ground strap
is a bunch of sales hype
EDIT
Its been proven that the racing plug short ground
strap makes a few more HP, opening up the flame front

Interested what others thought. I saw a dyno test just changing all the same heat range plugs. The E3 produced 12 more horsepower than the other brands.

When that test was done the B.S. truck was driving by and it was loaded down. That's where the 12 hp came from.
