Gasers, anyone try the E2 Spark plugs yet?

[NRL]

I've been researching about the E2 Diamondfire spark plugs, and their claim is more horsepower and lower emissions.

Anyone using them yet?

I hadn't heard of these, but a quick Google search turned up a stunning amount of hype and no independent testing that I could find. Have you found any in your research?

Probably the same stuff you found.

I watch Horsepower TV and they keep mentioning it on the shows. There were two episodes on rebuilding a 460 V8, the first one was from a junkyard and in the end it as like 380 horsepower with 400lbs of torque using mostly stock parts; it was like less then $2000 to rebuild it; they recommended the E2 Spark plugs and did a side by side comparision using sophisticated sensor equipment.

In the second episode, they took that 460 and replaced the cast iron heads and stuck in Trick Flow heads, intake, etc.. and made it a 500+ horsepower monster; again with the E2 spark plugs.

Now, I tend to ignore all the commercials like the Vmax one; anyone see Shelby hawking it? Completely sells his soul saying he runs Vmax in all his cars..

Anywho, the E2 website has some charts comparing the performance of them. Just wondered if anyone has tried it in their cars..

The stock coils already put out 40,000 volts. All a capacitance based plug will do in a coil-over sytem is slightly delay the spark timing.

Stick with OEM.

In an older ignition system, I could see the advantage, albeit small.

PS - we did testing in house for use in our race motors. Zero benefit in our motors (which put out over 140 HP/liter, naturally aspirated.

I have done quite a bit of reading as well as talking mechanics before I changed mine.

It was stressed to me only use Motorcraft spark plugs. good luck
