Question High $$$Dollar$$$ Spark Plugs Worth It???

just wondering do the high dollar spark plugs make a difference like the E3 series and the others that cost like $10- $20 each plug. my buddy thinks its the was to go but i just dont see it being a big difference. so are they worth that much money to buy the expensive @$$ ones or not?

NGK T-5, 55, 6's plugs will do just fine. You aren't running Nitro-Methane or Alcohol. You don't need race plugs.

Almost all ultra high dollar plugs are a BS gimmick. Of course they can back up their claims with dyno results, because swapping in almost any decent quality new plugs will show a small hp gain long enough to do a couple of dyno pulls.

Total waste of cash. Get yourself some NGK TR-55's if N/A or TR-6's if spraying like orangeapeel stated. They'll run you ~$11 for the set at your local O'Rielly.
