    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.

    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.

    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

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

    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.
