Default New ZEX Plugs??? Anyone using them Good or bad

Just wondering what the thoughts are on the ZEX (power racer) performance Plugs, for a forced induction, turbo and nitrous applications. I understand TR6,s are the most used in a F/I application. I am currently using them myself, with no problems. Just looking for some insight on the ZEX units . Yes they are a bit on the pricey side as well,

That thing is different...

Might be good for high compression setups too.

Cheaper than the Iridiums, at least the Denso variety. Might check these out, other than a little concerned about the multiple straps, I heard thats not good.

So what are the down sides of the multiple straps?

Less exposure to the AF mixture and the straps can also actually get too hot and cause detonation. Spark will only travel to 1 strap at a time anyways, and the only advantage I am aware of is longer plug life. Not something I'de want to put in my engine.
