2004 Cobra with K&N Fipk, Mac O/R Prochamber, MIL eliminators, Flowmaster 3" catback. 12,000 miles

Stock plugs are gapped at .043 , I have a slight hesitiation almost like a misfire at low rpms and throttle tip-in, all plugs look to be in good condition.

Would different plugs be useful?

If you plan on adding a pulley combo, I would go ahead and get the NGK TR6s. If you are going to remain at a stock boost level, then you may try the NGK TR55s. I ran these for a year, due to keeping her in the warranty. When I changed the upper pulley, and put her on a dyno, I had spark plug blowout above 5500 rpms. I swapped the TR55s for the TR6s and the problem vanished.

I would recommend the same. TR55s with your present setup and go to TR6s when you go with a smaller pulley.
