why are you running cooler plugs?

Hell even with mild FI you should still run the stock heat range, only difference is you gap them at .035" vs .055" for an NA car.

stock heat range plugs, Motocrafts, and gap them between .053 and .055"

should cost something like 8-10 bucks total for the entire thing

Don't forget 2 things. 1 = antiseaze compound

2. = 13lb/ft of torque on each plug.

Ok, I didnt read thru all the conversations going on , looks like they got your tune up handled. The squeel you hear I've noticed a quite a few Mustangs. I am willing to bet its the serp belt squeeling on the timing cover. Pop your hood and look to the right of the water pump you will probably see belt dust on the timing cover.

Nope, I'm only running the NGK BR7EF's which is just 2 heat ranges cooler than stock, nothing really better about it, and they work just fine for me
