Call wait for me thell tell you 3 or 4 I think. But like I said he did a tune up also. We dont think his truck ever got new plugs and we used the E3 plugs. On HP TV they dyno tested those plugs and got 2-3 mpg's.

The only way you check MPG is to, fill veh, hit trip odo. run veh. fill. hit trip, etc.etc.etc. Dic is not best Barometer for mpg.

I buy the whole "E3" thing but I think you would be lucky to get1 to 2hp out of them on a stock fuel injected engine. Our V8s run more effieciently than a carbed race engine to begin with. I'll stick with my NGK iridium (sp?) plugs.
