Mark,
From what I know you have the VVT since the 2007 3.5L are "all" supposed to be VVT. I say "All" because many times product changes don't exactly coincide with a model year. Maybe one of the resident experts like Blackrider can verify this. There may even be an engine code designation in your VIN number that would verify it.
I'm jealous , to get my engine to perform like your 3.5L (201 hp vs 224 hp on yours) I would have to spend about $1000.00 in upgrades (exhaust, chip, Cold Air Intake etc).

The 2007+ 3.5 V6 uses more gas but the increase in performance is negligible.
I can't believe that spark plugs would make this much of a difference. I was planning on getting them, then decided that they weren't worth it but I am going to do it now. Hopefully the difference in performance is good!!!
the different i felt with the ir fusion's was a little more 'go' around 5000 rpms. if they were installed without my knowing, would i have felt a difference? i dont know.

Custom fenderwell CAI FIRST G6 TO USE COILOVERS
Megan Racing coilovers Addco Rear Sway Bar
Racingline strut-bar installed
Racingline MMI's installed
Price: $5.99 X 6
Purchased From: O'reilly's - they have/had a coupon if you buy 4 you can send in for a free E3 lawnmower plug.
Installation: A pain when it wasn't even necessary. I could not torque the plugs to specs because of limited access, especially in the rear (Reminds me of my ex)
Installation Time: 45 min with new plug wires.
Any Installation Tips You Have: (optional) Label your plugs - even tyhough I pulled them off one at a time, I still managed to put them back on in the wrong order. Plus it took me another 30 min to find the cylinder #'s
Quality of Part: (rate 1-10) - 5
Product Performance: (rate 1-10) - 5 (average)
Would you Recommend to Others: No. They work fine, but if you can get a stock replacement (AC delco) plug for cheaper, do it.
Any Other Comments:
I replaced my plugs in my 3.5 with the E3's the beginning of the summer. They DID NOT improve my miles per gallon, or if so my AC offset the fuel efficiency gained. They also DID NOT improve the acceleration or response of the vehicle. I did this in conjunction with new wires because my fuel efficiency has gotten so bad. Of course, the plugs were NOT the problem with fuel efficiency.
E3's are a joke! You're probably getting better gas mileage because you have new plugs, it'll change as you drive more. Have fun trying to pull those plugs out after 50k+ miles w/o any anti-seize....
