Default Bad experiences with splitfires???

Anyone have any bad experiences with NGK splitfire plugs??? I was reading in the 4.6 section and a few of those guys complained about those plugs being crappy. I'm thinking of switching over to just regular ol Autolites.

What I meant was that I've got the split fires right now and I'm thinking of switching over to the autolites. Is it worth the 15-20 bucks? These plugs have about 10,000 miles on them.

My .02.....is

A spark is spark plug.....well mostly. If you are getting fire than you are OK. Those guys claim you get 15 to 25% more?? what ever......The spark take the quickest line of fire and does not do the double spark like they claim but if your car runs fine then don't worry..........I just think they are over rated and full of SHI T
