E3 Spark Plugs VS Bosch Plat +4
Yesterday I was watching my recorded episode of Horsepower TV and they did a spark plug comparison using a LS1 engine on a dyno. The engine had some extra's in it. They mentioned the E3 plug by name and they just showed the other plug which looked like the Bosch Platinum +4. They did different runs with both plugs installed and they stated they made sure the engine was at the same temp when both plugs were tested.
With the Brand X plug "Bosch Platinum +4 the engine dynoed like 407. something HP.
With the E3 plugs the engine dynoed like 412. something horsepower.
So there was approximately a 5 horsepower gain with the change of the plugs.
I wanna say that the so called factory plugs dyno run was 402 or 403 HP.
Does everyone think? I read a comparison chart before purchasing my NGK Tr55 IX plugs and they had shown different plugs and their dyno runs, on what engine I dont know, but the difference was anywhere from 3-4 extra horsepower on each dyno run for the NGKs.
