Default my take on E3 spark plugs

so i installed my E3 plugs 4 days ago cause my jeep has been feeling a lil sluggish with 52,000 miles on her and running 33" mt's and the jk has always had a slight hesitation upon takeoff with the 6 spd manual tranny and now the hesitation is gone and the jk runs smoother. just my 2 cents of info for anyone interested.. part no. e366 at the local advanced auto parts @ 6 bucks a pop....

I am in favor of the plugs as well. After watching the video on Truck TV, and reading the positives from other members I switched mine out this last Friday. I only had 4500 miles on my JK.

Afterwards I did not notice any power difference, only because I already have the SC Flashpaq and am running the 87 tune. I did not expect to feel any power from them even if there is. I did notice how smooth the engine would run at idle. I no longer get the rough idle while sitting at a stop light.

I am happy with my purchase, and if they create more power / better milage all the better.

I like the idea of them, but I must say my JK has always idled very smoothly. It only has 8000 miles on it though and I never run shitty gas in it.

27000 miles
put the e3 (e3.66) plugs in tonight
took all of 15 min
i could tell a difference as soon as i started it up
the idle was definitely smoother
i could also feel a difference when i went for a test drive
i am very happy with the results
well worth the 36 bucks

What size gap are you guys running? Never messed with spark plugs and was thinking of upgrading.
