440 at the wheels? what supercharger do you have and how much boost?

there is a special gapping tool for newer style plugs out there. Any part store should have it.

you have to use some kind of special blad style plug gapper, you cant use the coin style. Thats what I was told

funnt story about all this... did you know that ford got rid of the blade style for 2010 i sure as heck didnt know till i yanked all my coil packs out and disconected everything.... good news is lethal performance hase the new plugs in colder heat ranges for superchargers and giggle gas apps.. like my gradma always said look before you leap dumba$$ ...loving woman
