ive also taken a look at those 4 ones... and ive been wonderin after lookin at them.... how in hell are you suppose to gap them? they have like 4 different things coming off instead of like the normal spark plug. its confusing to me.

I use NGk "V" plugs. Steeda has a ton of them on their shelves for all year Mustangs.

Interesting new plug just out on the market: http://www.autofieldguide.com/articles/020503.html

I just changed mine last night. I used the standard Bosch platinums. Check the gaps of your old plugs..mine were wore down about .010 at 30k miles. I'll be changing every 15k now. Also it feels like I picked up some power!!

I use the NKG's in my 03 Mach1. No issues with them yet. As you said, do some research.
