Note to All:
ANY spark plug that has an abnormal amount of terminal hanging out in the combustion chamber in a forced induction engine (especially one running pretty hot with gasoline), is going to basically heat soak the terminals and cause them to act as if they are several stages hotter than the plug actually is. This heat is what causes the porcelain to crack and the parts of the terminal to fall into the cylinder. Extreme drag engines actually have the spark plug terminals design and/or cut to leave as little metal as possible in the area.

E3 plugs are total ****! I work at advance auto parts and only recommend factory style plugs for the vehicles. ACDelco/NGK=chevrolet, Autolite/Motorcraft=ford, Bosch=BMW, Champion=Chrysler etc....
