to be fair, i run E3's in my 4.6L stroker and both LQ4's for the TJ and 2500HD
Yeah, it was Stacy David, and featured the research done at MTU. I went through school with some of the guys shown in this video.

You can also see Stacy David meeting with a group of the wheelers (for a split second) at 0:43. That was very fun...getting to meet him. He signed a few dashboards and checked out some of the club rigs. He's a cool guy.

Granted, the research in the video was sponsored by e3, so they are definitely going to show an advantage. That being said, I am quite confident that OEMs would pay a premium price for a spark plug that delivered real world performance and emissions gains
