i'll pull the plugs later this winter when the car is stored to see how they are wearing, but i don't see how big a difference there would be between stock and champions

Yep, I've put 10k miles on mine with the champions and it runs great. I am curious, though, to see how they come out later on. I may pull one or 2 next spring to see how they look.

if you are planning on going N2O or Forced Induction, you may want to go to a colder plug, ie. HT0, Ford Racing, ect.

Exactly my thoughts and HT0 is in the car now.

10-15 years ago you would never have caught a Ford dude putting NGK (Jap Crap as it was referred to back then) in a mustang. These days, you'll find a ton of threads here on the forum recommended NGK plugs for the FOX body and FI cars. Times change.

And for the record, neither Champion or I claim any improvement in performance vs the OEM two piece plug. I did the swap for piece of mind. Nothing else.

If you're expecting a change in the car from replacing the plugs..you will be disappointed unless your existing plugs are already crapped out.
