Default Is The E3 Spark Plug The Best?

Has anyone tried the new E3 plugs in their Vette? What plug would you recommend if not?

Save your money and just get a set of NGK TR55's. At under 2 bucks each you can't go wrong!

Put them in on Friday and took them out on Sunday, returned them to Orielly's and bought a set of NGK's. Don't waste your money on the E-3's. My car threw it's only code, backfiring and popping. E-3's are crap.

Is there a certain recommended gap to set the TR55s at?

They should be right around .055" out of the box and since the stock gap is .060" that's close enough. Just check them all and make sure they all have the same gap.

Default Since we're talking about other plugs from E3's...

I've been using these Bosch Platinum +4 plugs on my Zo6 for the last 5,000 miles and they've been great. I pulled the plugs since I have the heads off the car now and they still look (structurally) the same.
