Default Installed new spark plugs on 2004GT

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to give a follow up. Everwhere I read our cars are fitted w/ the mortocraft copper
perhaps the old ones, mine had motorcraft platinums,. After 60k miles, they were in verygood shape.
I was doing my 60k tune-up, and installed the Bosch platinum +2.
As far as I can tell,
..same idle, same hp, smooth ride. I only got plats as not to have to change again for a long time,
.. it does seem like these don;t get as hot, engine takes 2X longer to warm to op temp.
Thanks
BTW, the 7 plus took 20 min, the closest cylinder to the window on the passenger side, near AC items, was a byatch!

Hopefully you don't have any problems with those Bosch plugs. Alot of people including myself complain that the Bosch make the car run like garbage.
