Ok, let's hold up a sec here. I smell another Civil War starting.
Everybody really needs to read their threads a little more carefully. I
think Steve already indicated (way earlier) that he understands why you
wouldn't use platinum plugs with "high energy" ignition systems such as MSD,
etal. What he was asking about is platinum plug use on the new 4.7 engines
where there is no available "high energy" ignition systems yet. If you
folks have experiences with platinum plugs, good or bad, PRIOR to installing
the MSD, or other, ignition systems in your vehicles, please comment.

Whoa there Steve...calm down for a second.
The Platinum Plug tips deteriorate very rapidly with the multiple spark
ignitions and also have a tendancy to misfire. I've tried the Autolite
Platinums (when they first came out) a long time ago in my 480HP Camaro BB
Chevy with an MSD and we also ran them on a 420HP Mustang 5.0L with the same
results...they just don't work well with Multiple Spark ignition systems.
