Default Spark Plugs (w/ flex pic lol)

Good Morning everyone,
So I bought some E3 spark plugs even after hearing some mixed reviews about them. Figured I would form my own opinion. But after posting a pic on Instagram the amount of comments about how bad they were I am kinda rethinking my decision to install them.


So my question to everyone is What spark plugs are you running?

Here's a chart courtesy of CCKen

There is no need to run fancy plugs in our XJ's...and might even cause some issues. Plenty of threads on here addressing that...

I run Champion coppers...and, FWIW, I have a 4.6 stroker. Never have had an issue running the stock coppers.

Anytime. Nice rig.

What are the wires for from the basket to the front of the hood for? Have seen several people run this, just wondering why.

Most people run them to lift up tree branches/brush to get them over the top.


I run the Champion plugs in mine.


Nice rig BTW
