Article on E3 Spark Plugs

After waking up from my alcohol-induced slumber of 9 hours, I got up to watch the end of the HorsePower show on PowerblockTV on SPEED. They were talking about how much spark plugs can make a difference.

I found this interesting cause they started with a fully bolted 6.0L and ran a series of tests. One with the "leading competitors" plugs, and one with E3 plugs. End result?

+8 HP
+14 LB.FT
+4% mpgs
-43% less NOx
-20% less CO2

The plugs are about $6.00 at O'Reillys and Vatozone.

Here is a link to the article.

Ya I saw that. Horsepower and extreme are the only good shows out of the four.

Anyone use these? I'm never comfortable with a product when they don't tell you straight up what their product does or improves upon.

It's a gimmick, they sponsor the shows.

I have them in my truck. I noticed the truck idled and ran much better, especially in higher rpms, think my mileage went up .5 but thats it.

horsepower also put a throttle body spacer onto a charger...they do know their shit, but they will push some BS onto you too because the sponsors are what pay their checks. extreme 4x4 is the only one i like

Trucks is just shit, so tired of seeing them put a 3" lift and programmers.

No censor?

Today on trucks we will lift another jeep. They seem to do alot of jeeps. I thought the name of the show was trucks.

Yeah I dunno why they still do 4wd's I thought that was the point of Xtreme. And yeah apparently we can get away with swearing now

Was your truck due for replacements though? Replacing spark plugs will usually yield you better mileage and smoother idle regardless of the make.

Well that's a plus...I got a strict warning when I used the word a**...and I even censored it like that.:doofus:

its all b.s,,ask ss chic,,her ss burned em up quick lol.

Those Plugs Suck...

E3 plugs are garbage. NEVER EVER recommend them to anybody.

seen E3s burn up quick as well. Stick with ngk and delco.

I've been running them for about a year now. Not worth the money, IMO. Will be changing them out when i install my headers.

What's your experience with them? Why will you be changing them out early?

That show used an engine dyno when they tested those plugs. To the wheels that equates to a 20% parasitic loss. Basically your lucky if you get more mpg if anything at that.

Couldnt tell any difference in them. And mpg certinly did not go up, may be it's cuz of the led foot i have, IDK. Plugs have probly about 20K on them if that much. Im going to change them just becuase i want to i guess dont, really have a reason as to why.
