E3 Spark Plugs

I looked through the forum and could not find a posting regrding E3 plugs.
Has anyone tried them?
Any opinions? Good or Bad or should I just go with Denso, Iridiums?
I'm not looking for the best spark plug but what works best in a C5.

Would that be my P229 or 556?

You really can't go wrong with OEM replacements. The retail price is pretty high, but perhaps someforum vendors could help you. I've run Autolite 103, NGK TR-55, NGK TR6 and Densos in my LS1s and all of them performed well. If you don't plan to mod your car, get the OEM replacements.

For what it's worth, I put them in my old boat with a 5.7. They work fine but cost as much as the irridium. I'd go with the GM spec in my Vette!

I took a set of iridiums with 110,000 miles out of my daughter's Malibu and they looked GREAT ! Made a believer out of me.

I have previously used Bosch +4 Platinum plugs in all my cars.

I run the TR55 V-Power Copper plug,about $2 each.IMO,they are good,cheap and can be found at most ap stores.

Don't know how long they will last because I change mine every 15k miles.
