Well stock plug for the stock unmolested motor is one of the hottest I've seen anything use... so I'll be going down a heat range or two... When I say eating I mean gap erosion is rapidish, and performance drops off in a couple of thousand miles.

The last thing you want in your combustion chamber is a piece of metal hanging out in the middle of it. It will turn into a glow plug in short order.

Funny you mention that, you know what model glow plug engines use, to glow when exposed to alcohol vapor, platinum... so I'm kinda leary of what platinum and other catalytic metals like iridium will do with alcohol in the fuel... but the colder the plug the better heat path it should have to the head, and those E3s seem to have a decent heat path... more so than a single ground strap plug.
