    Fixed my problem. It was getting false knock. I had the car on the lift to do control arm bushings and noticed a wire resting on the axle. Followed the wire and it went to the knock sensor on the back side of the engine. The axle worn through the plastic down to the copper wire inside. I fixed the wire and put it up out of the way. Car has the power it used to again

    Never heard a good thing about Champion... anything.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I noticed a little better fuel mileage after I put the E3 plugs in. Thats what they advertise but it wasn't a significant amount but noticable
