Keep the stock ones unless you are adding boost or nitrous

I was wondering that too.. E3 claims more HP and better econ. I wonder if this is true or just snake oil.

They sent me another set for free, and I noticed the same burn marks that the previous set developed. Just stick with the standard Iridium tip spark plugs! |

you really can't beat the stock plugs unless you increase the gap on the plugs (which isn't possible on the OEM plugs). if you're increasing the gap on the plugs, the OEM can handle a little extra gap, but you need to beef up your coils to drive the spark to really see a performance increase (a better fuller burn of fuel/air). after you've got 20K+ mi's on your car, you will see a gain with "performance" and maybe an extra mpg or 2 simply due to swapping to fresh plugs. it isn't like the old days of getting an MSD coil pack and some copper plugs...technology is what it is and old skool rulz don't always apply here. there are coils in the works by Performance Distributors but still in the R&D phase.
