Splitfire, E-3, +4, I really don't think they do much of anything that you'll ever notice. Maybe if you ran in a lab on a dyno you could see the diff when the computer prints it out.

1/4 mile times on stock GM tune at HRP on 11/14/04 (tuned on the 15th so will just hafta go again!!!
While switching to the E3 did increase the gas milage of my truck by 1-2 mpg per the bully dog before i bought it from my roomate. He added some fuel system cleaner to the tank and it fouled the out of the plugs. Cause it to throw a multiple random miss fire code that felt like a coil pack going out. It took me a hot minute to figure it out. Another downside to the E3 is that you cannot gap them. You will get optimum power out of a correctly gaped iridium and then you can even squeeze a few more out of it if you index your plugs.

E3 plugs shield the spark. That's never a good thing.

Gimmick, they can't convince people to change their sparks plugs at regular intervals so they invent gimmicky plugs that they can convince people will gain 100 hp.
Its not the plugs that give it the extra 100 hp....... its the stickes..... everyone knows that stickers give you powerOriginally Posted by PitchBlackC3

I had some in my old truck, and it ran like total crap. Swapped for a set of stock style NGKs and it ran worlds better. Like many others have said, all they are are just a gimmick.
Always buying things I dont need to impress people I dont know
these plugs with multiple ground electrodes do have an advantage of a more consistent spark. Since electricity flows to the path of least resistance and the heat of the spark traveling through the electrode heats it and causes more resistance it will switch between electrodes. But this is not good for tuners since you cant gap them
