I find it hard to believe a spark plug can make a noticeable differance in performance or fuel mileage. They either light the fire or they do not.

So then what you are saying is that I should never need to replace my plugs as long as they are firing. I can just regap a plug with say 80,000 miles on it and it will be as good as new.


That is not what I said, well maybe it sounded that way, but what I was trying to say is that changing from one type of plug to another won't give you a measureable change in performance. All the evidence I have seen so far is anecdotal, not measured. Again, this is my opinion, and until I see measured evidence, I will stand by it. I'm not trying to start a war here, I just don't always buy into the hype without proof.

Basically the same thing as a a split fire, can't see that they are any better than the iridium plugs. I could really feel a boost in the pants whit the iridium's and good mileage too.

Already saw it they don't say what the competitors plugs are and anything can be rigged in favor of the product they want to sell. Only way I will believe it is to try them and the iridium's are gonna be hard to beat.

Re:E3 spark plugs 1 Year, 10 Months ago  
I just put a set in my 02 roadie, 3.36 model, am leaving for Sturgis on Friday and can't wait to see how they improve my power and fuel mileage. I get pretty good mileage with my stock bike and hope to improve that. I will know more when I return and check the mileage against last years figures. I started the bike after installation and noted that it seems to run better, more quietly than before. I have ridden it once and feels like better acceleration when pulling onto highway.
