I will try 3s sometime to do a side by side comparison, but I hate to spend money on two sets of plugs. Any other feedback on this??? Jamie
Non-intercooled? And a 3DLZ? I think if I were you, I'd be looking at this again:

In identical spark plug types, the difference from one heat range to the next is the ability to remove approximately 70°C to 100°C from the combustion chamber.
Your intake charge temperature has to be well over 100 degrees hotter than mine (based on Kokeln's chart), and you're running plugs 2 heat ranges hotter to boot.

You wanna borrow a set of used 3's?
