No.

Copper plugs, as everyone else is about to tell you, are what you need for a 4.0. Assuming that is what you have. Champions Pre 97, NGK 97+.

Not according to any review I have seen. I have not used them personally, though.

Snake oil. At the shop, I remove several sets a month to fix Backyard Billy's home tune up.

Forget E3, Splitfires and all that BS.
