I've got a 95 SSEi and only put the V-power spark plug, not the iridium, mind you I only drive it around the block once a week for the last several months.
Can someone shed some light on this subject?

NEVER use platinum in a SC, Turbo, or Nitrous application.
Standard V-Powers are copper plugs and are preferred. Irridium'* should also be just fine for SC (not suggested for well modified cars, as you'll be changing plugs often enough to not want to pay for Irridiums twice a year or more).
Copper, Platinum, or Irridium are fine for all non-supercharged. Copper V-power'* should run you about $1.50 a plug MAXIMUM.

So I guess the question is [since I don't mind paying for the Platinum plugs if the answer is yes], would I actually see any gain [be it performance/whatever] for my L27 over the TR55s I'm currently running?...Winter is just around the corner [well, not really, but I'm due for a new set o' plugs] & I'm willing to spring for the added cost if it'* worth it...

I prefer them because of the dual-spark path. Slightly smaller odds of blowing out the spark under high boost.

Just passing on what the Fordies told me. By no means am i suggesting anyone put a plat in any 3800. I don't see the point as they should be changed out more often then 100k. For the cost why not have piece of mind.
