I was wondering what plugs are people using for the basic boltons, not the stock ones? NGK equivalent??
Which plugs to replace stock one with. Not for blower application?

Our plugs are already NGK's, they are iridium so they will be pricey, i think ford quoted me $10 a plug. Call or go Rockauto, their in Rockford, honestly these plugs dont need to be changed like people think. This info came straight from NGK's tech support when i was on the phone with them
I'm a big fan of the NGK TR7s (as per shaun's recommendation)
Copper, they run about 20 bucks for 8
Shortest ground strap to help prevent detonation
change every 10k or 1 year, whichever comes first. Cheap insurance.

ah this is interesting.
Are those 1 step colder? I'm looking for some 1 step colder plugs for a lil bit of spray.

Yeah, but those would be for your application with blower and pulley no?
The plug gap is changed for different applications ie. blower/spray
But the plug is the same

Good to know. What about the TR6? So basicly should I run the TR7 or TR6?
Honestly, I've run both and both seem to be good. Heck, I can't even tell the difference when driving the car which one is different. They both fire.
But if the man recommends TR7 because it's cheap insurance. I'll rock that plug because I can't tell the difference, neither in the wallet or in the driver's seat.
Again, this is my interpretation as to what the man told me, nothing more.
but here is the visual difference between the TR7:
vs the TR6:
The TR7 is a lot shorter and the plug doesn't protrude into the cylinder very much.
(check NGK Spark Plugs USA)
"Advancing ignition timing by 10° will cause the spark plug tip temperature to increase by approximately 70° to 100°C."
Less surface area on the spark plug tip, the less heat it will absorb. Cooler plugs = less likely to fail

NGK BR7EF Spark Plugs (Set of 8) [BR7EF] : Lethal Performance, Performance parts for Ford Mustangs
This is what I had in my GT500. They were recommended by Bob Kurgan to help with some drivability issues I had. They worked. This was when I was pullied.

if your not having any issues with ignition misfires then i see absolutely no reason in changing out spark plugs with less then 10k miles on them.......
so should the stock plugs be changed out after 10k miles?
no, i don't think the stock plugs are copper... I'm talking copper plugs
I wish we had Full Copper plugs available for the Coyote.
Unfortunately they use a longer 24mm reach than previous 4V's, so we can't swap over to older style plugs.
As J mentioned NGK makes the stock plug and they actually have a Copper core with Iridium tips.

I see no reason to switch stock ones that work especially if the car is bolt on non blower nitrous. On a bolt on tune exhaust intake type what mileage to change out and do you still reccommend 10k and stock plugs?
Sir, what plugs would you recommend for a lil bit of spray? one step colder NGKs?
Regap factorty
really? where do you get this info from, do you have a link to read more about it? what is the gap supposed to be?
