That claim is pretty bogus.
On a N/A mustang the best spark plugs to use are
Motorcraft or Autolite.

AGSF-32C is a copper core plug and those in the picture are platinum tipped plugs and the platinums are only better for longivity and NOT the best for performance useage

Since the beginnings of the Internal Combustion Engine, snake oil spark plugs have been on the market. We have had 100 years or more to develop this part. If multiple electrodes and all these other gimmicks worked, you would have a set of them screwed in at the factory.

The platinum plugs that come in our mod motors are the best that can be put in there. In the case of our mod motors, with their somewhat delicate aluminum plug threads, I HIGHLY recommend that you use the CORRECT Motorcraft platinum plugs, remove the old plugs ONLY when the engine is cold and USE A TORQUE WRENCH on them set to 13 ft./lbs.

Except for a few marginally equivalent, LEGITIMATE replacements that may be CLOSE to as good as the Motorcraft platinums, consider other spark plugs to be snake oil.

My $0.02,

Thanks for clearing that up. The hype of the platinum plugs threw me off for a second.

I'm thinkin' I'm gonna go get a set of these here plugs...3 platinum points has gotta be more gooder than 1. View attachment 436263

View attachment 436266

"Now SplitFire's patented split "V" side electrode design is available with three separate points of platinum, substantially reducing electrode wear. What's more, the revolutionary platinum-tipped fine wire center electrode requires less voltage to fire. No other spark plug combines 3 platinum alloy points, the fine wire center electrode and the patented split "V" technology. No other spark plug provides more for the life of your vehicle engine!"

The splitfire is snake oil. Multiple electrodes have been hyped for years. They are just stuff to sell.

No matter how many electrodes are on a spark plug, electricity takes the path of least resistance. This mean that the spark will jump ONLY on one of the electrodes at a time. In some cases the spark will be fatter. In the days of point ignitions, spark plugs could sometimes make a big change because there was very little energy. Modern engines, however, have FLAME THROWER ignition systems, making for rare cases where spark plugs can be a performance advantage.

Due to the expense of platinum, the electrodes are indeed thinner making a thinner spark. This can under very specific circumstances indeed cause a SLIGHT performance loss. Unless you enjoy changing plugs every few thousand miles, however, the factory platinums will, over the long run, provide better performance.
