Default Opinions on E3 spark plugs?

I did a search on this forum and didn't find too many hits regarding these. They seem to be working great on my car and the graphs on the dyno look nice and smooth. Of course, I also have new wires and coil packs as well.

Just thought I'd see if any of you had tried these? Here's a link to their site: http://www.e3sparkplugs.com/diamondfire.htm

Since electricity(as well as many other things/people in life) follow the path of least resistance, I dont see how these plugs or any other multi-spark plug will produce more than 1 single spark per ignition cycle?

Thoughts?

W/ regard to lowest resistance and the current (arc) path...No argument there. Question: on multiple electrode plugs, does the resistance remain constant on all electrodes over time/use?

IMO, I believe there are a LOT fishing lures out there designed to catch fishermen as much (or more so) as fish...(if you get my drift). Have a gander at what might be the quickest NA 350 ZR-1 out there (on pump gas).

Pete's car is making 474 RWHP with full porting and cams. What kind of plugs? Standard AC Deco copper core '41-602s' (at that time). Mine is making 432 RWHP with stock cams and bottom and stock TB. Prolly time to move onto some other "Holy Grail" of horsepower - multi-electrode plugs come around more often than a carousel pony, and except maybe for longevity...maybe...they have yet to prove to be significantly better that single electrode plugs. I'll keep an open mind, but... Fresh copper plugs are about $2 a copy. (I refer again to the video).

I have a rear license plate holder on order from a fellow forum member here and I hear that's good for about 3hp at the wheels as well. Stay tuned

I think you get more bang 4 buck by optimizing heat range and gap!
