These may be great plugs..but...
The only job of a spark plug is to spark..as long as it gives a good spark,
little else matters. In all honesty, (and I am no engineer, only a retired
bike mechanic), I always felt that the additional electrodes may "get in the
way" as for the spark attempting to ignite the small amount of fuel in the
combustion chamber. None of the NASCAR teams use them, (but then maybe it's
a rules thing, more likely has to do with Champion being a sponsor). I also
believe that sometimes when we spend $$ on something, we want so bad for it
to be worth it to us, we make ourselves believe that it is really better,
despite fact, (throttle body spacer...ahem).
Anyway, that is my 2 cents and I am not sure it was worth that much...

Still a bit too rich for my blood. Normal plugs are nitrous/blower friendly
as well, why would I (or anyone) need to switch from something that has been
tried and proven year after year by countless people?
Until someone posts a comparison with before and after dyno results I'll
continue to be skeptical of this "miracle plug."
