Default Spark Plugs

Get new ones, installed them. Other than renewing my hatred for replacing them. I like them.

E3 is the brand...I think. "Diamond Spark Technology" Quick easy starts now.

Best part....NO SPACING!

I replace mine every 30k, but I know people who do it every year.

Depends on what plugs you use and what your doing. With my nitrous use I go through a set at least one a year. If I melt a plug or two on the bottle then its 1 or 2 sets a year. Normally just one a year though.

Also those plugs are a waste of cash they are super expensive and don't do anything special. Save your cash and use good old NGK,Autolite,etc...

X2. You can go ahead and waste $100+ for plugs and claim you gained power or you can spend $20 and use the extra $80 towards something that will give you power.

Its amazing how the spark plug companies have started to import metals from other "planets" just so they can charge 25 dollars for a 2 dollar part that you dont need. you dont need 78 electrodes made from some damn material from Pluto. Stay with the tried and true stuff.

I used to love that site. The only thing they have I like now are some body kits for various cars.

Cut that in half for good old Copper plugs, which work fine for the motorsports.

As for batteries, Interstate, Motorcraft, and Car Quest are good ones I know that are priced well. And for the most part, Optimas are over kill.

Randy recommended to me some Motorcraft SP-505 plugs, I beleive they are one heat range cooler, which he said is good if you intend to beat on the car alot.

They may be good but you know, my $2 Champion plugs starts my car up all the time and works fine for those in motorsports. I might have to replace them every 15,000 miles but big deal, it's cheaper, gets the job done, and if I wanted a race plug, I'd cut the ground electrode.

Oh yeah. I love the some of the cheap stuff. I needed new ones bad though. And those were there. I'm going to go to Carquest today and take a look around.
