That is what everyone has been observing but now the next test is the 4417
version. One step colder than the 4418.

Subject: DML: Observations on spark plugs for the 4.7
Well,
I went plumb loco and bought a set of Bosch +4's (P/N 4418) for the 4.7
based
in part on the comments of a fellow DML'er (forget exactly who) and the
claims of Bosch. The fellow DML'er mentioned that the semi-hemi design of
the 4.7 seems to lend itself to the +4 design and that his best track times
were had with this plug. The "open" nature of the plug presents the spark
to
the air/fuel mixture with less obstruction than a conventional plug without
indexing. Hummm? Seems to work.
They don't ping, the idle and pull of the motor is smoother, and the
subjective butt-dyno perhaps feels some additional pull.
As the search for a good plug for the 4.7 continues I wanted to give my
impression of the Bosch +4 plugs. This one might be good.
