Has anyone tried splitfire spark plugs? They are supposed to improve power and performance. I was just curious how they performed?
Thanks,
Donald

Splitfires are a very poor plug. The design of the plug makes proper gapping a problem. If one of the prongs is even the slightest bit further (either vertically or horizontally), the spark will favor the other half of the V. Making the spark less effective than a standard plug. This is why the price of the splitfires was cut in half. They don't work properly and that got out to the public.

I installed Splitfires when my stock Dakota had about 20K miles on it; no improvement whatsoever over stock.

I bought slitfires for my "93" Lebaron kept them in for about 6 months and then threw them away
I lost MPG and performance with them.I am now using BOSCH +4 both in the "93" and "DAK2"
with them I've noticed an increase in MPG over stock plugs.

They worked just fine on my old Camaro, many Mustangs, and quite a few imports. Also worked fine in my V6.
I used to be a die-hard SplitFire user until I ran the Autolite 3923's....they're less expensive, perform better, and are readily available.
BTW: Don't run the standard replacement SplitFire...run with one heat range colder.

They rank right up there with the new "titanium" plugs and the throttle body spacers. Just another way to seperate you from your $. My electrical back ground told me that the spark will only go to 1 point. The picture of spark going to multiple points does not follow theory unless you can put many more volts than a conventional system does. I tried the Splitfires when they first came out just for fun and sure enough - nada, zip, nothing, no more h.p., no more m.p.g. Only me a few $ poorer.
