Default side gapped plugs

I came across this site, http://performanceunlimited.com/docu...degapping.html
and I was wondering does anyone side gap thier spark plugs? If what this site is saying is true it seemed that a good deal of performance can be gained. Check it out and let me know what you all think

Default side gapped plugs

I looked at the artical, & will give it a try, I'm due for a plug change, before my next competition, in 2 weeks... my only concern, would be plug life, but I probably change plugs every 5-6 months or so anyway, & I'd expect about the same results as a slpit fire, at maybe 1/2 the cost, ( with replacing the plugs more often )... in reality, the only time I really noticed any change for the better, with a plug like the Split Fires, was on engines that have started to burn oil... but I'm willing to give this a shot, on my quad motor ( which, by the way, is not burning oil )...
