One step colder NGK TR-6 sparK plugs would be fine.
A gap of .035"-.040" should work perfect.
Where talking about a FI mustang, not a rice patty subaru, save that talk for the sushi bar.

I am running the TR6's and mine are gapped at .032, no problems. Just get the regular V-Power.

I was doing some research late last night and noticed I can use either the V Power or the Ix Iridium.. V power is like 20 dollars for a set.. and Iridium is about 70 dollars for a set.. They say they both work fine in supercharged cars. That the Iridium has a longer life expectancy and can leave the gap open more to give better performance. I might give em a try. spend 70 bucks once aint so bad.. not like i gotta spend it all the time. think im gonna go with the NGK TR6IX Iridium

I was also looking at the Accel and MSD coil packs last night.. they range from 250-350 dollars or so.. Thats pretty damn expensive.. does anyone actually have them? or know anyone who does? and if they even noticed a difference?
