I run a maintaince/service shop and cannot tell you how many cars that we have had come in with misfire/rough running problems because of Splitfire/Bosch 4 prong plugs!! For most applications just replace with what the factory INSTALLED!! seems to work for us......

Snake Oil. I have seen them pull up HP on a dyno for the first pull and then loose from stock after that.

even a few cobra guys around here complaining of random misfires at low rpm until a WOT blast to clean the plugs.
