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.

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
