E3 Plugs am I missing something??

Just wondering if anyone has tried E3 plugs?? I tried em TWICE and DIDN'T like em, noticeable power LOSS! I was watching gears and they posted a 7 hp gain on a 440?? Is there a part of the equation I am missing?? I really liked the denso iridium, but they sure don't last long... What are your guys experience with these E3 things (I call em spark blockers)

I personally use cheap autolite coppers....change once a year.
Our cars are old...so we need to open the hood a lot anyways.

Nope you aren't missing anything. I went off and bought a set wanting to try them out and when I had my engine swapped the new E3 plugs were taken out of my old engine and replace with new Autolight plugs in my new engine and I was told to throw the E3 plugs away. That is my experience with them. I never was allowed to crank up my new engine with them in. In fact I never got a chance to try them in my old engine. (lol)

+1 for the autolite or motorcraft copper ones. Now, on my 2 dakotas I used to run champ coppers. Well my buddy gave me a good deal on irridium plugs when I did the tune up on my 318 'kota I noticed a huge difference. And that truck used to get a tune up bi-annually I've been running those for almost 2 years and haven't had a lick of troube since. Seems to wake these ol mopowas up

Years ago I had 1994 Dodge Dakota 318 5 speed with 8.75" rearend...that stupid little truck was quick...

Anyways it ate the champion plugs all the time...like every 10,000 miles.

Interesting... What do you guys think about Bosch Platinum +4?
~Project ThunderStorm = '84 Charcoal Thunderbird - First Car - Long Time Work in Progress~
~Project (No Name Yet) = 1970 Plymouth GTX/RR "Clone"~

Not a big fan of the Bosch P4 either. Motorcraft platinum or coppers always do great for me.
