E-3 Spark Plugs

Anybody try these plugs? They're kinda' new, and they advertise the hell out of them, I was wanting some feed back,good, bad,or indifferent.The design looks pretty cool, not having to gap them.

Most guys opt for a less expensive plug but they are cheaper than an NGK iridium.
I have them for $55 to your door for set or the NGK TR55 is $18.75 for a set so you can see there is a big price difference.

my best friends tried them in his lt1 and they didn't help anything at all so he went back to regular plugs the next time he needed some (his car was rich at the time so he was changing them once a year)

Spark plugs are not a mod. It's a gimmick. Do not waste your money. If you have enough spark already, you could install a 220V arc welder in each cylinder and you wouldn't make any more power.

"Spark plugs are not a mod."

Who said they were?? Thanks for all of the responses, I don't think I'll plop down $55.00 for a set of plugs.I might try the Iridiums, and see how they work.

iridiums are more money, go with the TR55 or TR6 and you'll be fine

87,

My sig says I'm a "Noob". It's the same sig I've had since I signed up in 2005. You asked for feedback, I gave it. From now on I'll gladly stay out of "your threads".

You must have had something wrong with one of the replaced components. Not doubting you but I cant imagine a ten horse difference in that alone.
