Berg made a big deal about how his cars ran poorly with the Plat plugs. I think 
the trouble he described was more one of missing, but I'm not sure. It's hard 
to imagine how it could make an engine run hotter, unless you also changed the 
timing, which is cheating since the same timing change would also make it run 
hot with the reg plugs.

My own Plat plug experience has been fine, but OTOH I find that the reg W8ACs 
also work just fine.

BTW, I have W8ACs available for sale if anyone needs them. I can probably beat 
your local price, but shipping would eat up all your gains unless you were also 
buying something else at the same time.
