Let's try to keep the retardedness to a minimum and stay friendly...everyone..

Anyway, when you say you're shocked something so small would make such a diff.... haha I doubt I'm the only one who thinks Spark Plugs are pretty much an absolutely necessity to have a car that can even start... It's a big deal!

The plugs you chose are crappy. I'd chalk this one up as a learning experience and replace them when you get the chance.

ive seen a decent amount of bosch and autolite plugs break and ruin pistons........ I work at autozone btw, also seen quite a bit of bosch and autolite plugs that are bad from the getgo, person buys and puts in and doesnt work, buys a new diff brand and it fixes it, bosch isnt a very good plug, hell we are supposed to push them bigtime at work but i still steer people away from them. id say go ngk or stay with motorcraft.

NGK TR55's are those copper? I've heard good things about them for mustangs....
If so: Whats the point in using a copper plug when you have to change them every 3000 miles, when you could get platinums and change them way less frequently?

I work at Advance. We are supposed to press them also, but I dont. Then theres some people that have to learn it on their own. Like the thread starter.

Like I stated earlier, enjoy your ****ty plugs.

we could be more friendly in our responses though...so he didn't know what he was buying...big deal you could steer him in the right direction without so much sarcasm...the reason i spend more time in 4.6 is because the people are smarter (for the most part) and friendlier (ditto) here than the 3.8 section
