Dear friends,
Regarding Splitfire sparkplugs; my fellow-motor driver/neighbour had a really nasty experience with Splitfire sparkplugs. In his tuned Honda Big-One one of these plugs lost its ground electrode ruining the particular cylinder. Searching for the reason why, it seems that Splitfire is a marketing gadget. Using plugs produced by other parties the added value of Splitfire is to split the ground electrode halfway to form the V-shaped ground electrode. The force used to accomplish this, seems to put a big load on the soldering that connects the ground electrode, in some cases leading to breaks and disaster.
Please consider standard plugs....
Stand on your footsteps!
