I would do some objective searching the web before spending that kind of money that may result in little to no noticable difference in performance. Spend time and a lot less money on fine tuning your timing setting if you havn't done so already. Dennis

Over the years, companies have tried to come up with unique designs to outdo the competition. Some of these designs were indeed unique. Such as:

The Quick Detach Plug – By turning a lever on the plug, it could be quickly removed for cleaning or replacement with no tools needed.

The Double Ended Plug – Had plugs on both ends which could be turned over and used when the other end was fouled.

The Priming Plug – Allowed a small amount of gas to be injected into a cylinder for easy starting

The Breathing Plug – Allowed cool air to be sucked over the hot end of the porcelain, helping to keep deposits from forming

The Coil Plug – The coil and the plug were a one piece unit

Intensified Plugs – Had a dual firing gap that promised a plug would “fire hotter and longer.”

After 160+ years, by far the vast majority remain a single ground spark plug.
