I thought I would try the cool "new" E3 diamond fies and literally melted them. Same boost same abuse and my NGK's didn't even get phased. But in the end of the day choose the ones you like.

Autolite 3922, I'll start there, cheap and suggested by autolite. If they start causing problems I'll switch back to plantium.

Currently getting 16 to 17 mpg. Will be easy to figure. Ill report after 2 or 3 tanks. Pulled Champion out when I swapped. All the plugs removed were properly gapped. They still looked good.
