I fell that unless your stockers are in poor shape, you won't gain much.
But heck, if you're willing to try them... let us know the results. :hshake:
:imwstupid:
i have acdelco iridiums right now and theyre awesome i dont think im gonna go with the e3 but id like to se if they actually do make a difference just tryin to get everyones 2 cents
I think the e-3's will have the same effect as putting bosch platinum plugs in. I have so many people come into the shop after they did their "own tune up" and someone at the auto parts store pushed the bosch plugs on them and they cant figure out why their car runs worse. You pull the bosch plugs out and put the stockers in and it runs fine. Ill stick to my stock plugs. If the e-3's did perform better it would probably be in a very high powered vehicle with an extremely hot ignition or the difference would be so insignificant that you wouldnt even be able to feel the difference. Thats just my opinion im very sceptical of spending 4 times as much for spark plugs that may or may not work. I would rather buy the stock plugs and spend the money i saved not buying the expensive plugs on a 12 pack to drink while i do my tune up. :burnout:
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.
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.
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
Its not the plugs that give it the extra 100 hp....... its the stickes..... everyone knows that stickers give you powerQuote:

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.
Yep T6's here, great plug... All I need cus I am slow!Quote:
