Default Spark plugs?

I've been wondering about these new plugs called "E3 Performance Spark Plugs". 13% better fuel economy, 12% HP increase, 5 yr/100,000 mile warranty. $9.00 ea. (wow!).
Has anyone tried them, are they worth the expense?

I put them in my truck a month or two ago. If anything, they decreased my MPG. Dont buy them, they dont do what they claim. Not worth the money. Stick with AC Delco iridiums or whatever came factory in your truck. GM knows what works best in their vehicles.

Spark plug manufacturers get a kick out of what they can fool us with. Splitfires, bosch +4......Electricity takes the shortest path to ground, ie, no matter how many tabs they hang over the core you're still only gonna get one arc ....unless you are pushing enough volts to cook an elephant.

Don't like Elephant? Fine.

unless you are pushing enough volts to cook a fat chick.
Is that more familiar?

No fat chicks here, they slow my truck down too much, and make the boat lean. You gotta remember we only have a 9200 lb towing capacity. Speaking of that, Hunt how do you get your wife around? Got a friend with a diesel or something?

You know that would be funny but since my wife might weigh 100 pounds wet its not that funny. Thats also why i cant get a 6 inch lift because then i would have to trow her up in my truck all the time.
