Don't waste your money. Stick with the recommended NGK plugs.

Even if they do increase power it would be so little there's no way you would notice it. Also I don't think those would fit the 250.

Back when I worked at Advance Auto Parts we tested a bunch of plugs on my buddy's Jeep. We went through NGK Iridium, E3, and every other gimmicky spark plug we could find. Thankfully we also had a friend who worked at a tunning shop who had a really slow day and a dyno.

After a baseline run, any power increase was minimal. Don't remember numbers, but I think the biggest jump was less than 1.5 to the wheels on that big 4.0L motor. I don't look at new plugs to make a performance difference, I look at what plug is going to give me consistent performance for the longest. As much as people like new things and "performance" things, I've found that most of the time OEM is the way to go.

Looks like another gimmick plug.

Does not appear to be compatible with the 250. Standard plug is the CR8E with the hotter variant being the CR7E.

A solid consistent performing plug what I look for.
