NO!!!

Plus 4 suck the life out of our motors. I had them in my Honda and liked them but the don't work with the combustion chamber design.

I would go Desno Iridiums or NGKs. (I went with the Densos). Those are very good plugs for our motors.

I paid 70 for all 8 Densos shipped.

Copper plugs are good to use to be should be changed every year.

Just stock ngk tr5 or a colder plug tr6, like 2.50 a piece.
gap between .052-.054
I got ford racing wires brand new 9mm on ebay for $50.00 normally like $75 I think.

If you want cheap wires you can pick up some Xact spark plug wires for a pretty cheap price. I think I sold some today for a v8 that came to like 21.42 or something. But then again going the cheap way isn't always the best way. I do think they carry a 1 year warranty though.

as for the plugs......exactly what starcam says. as for the wires, you should get what you like. i have a set of taylor wires and really like them. i got them from summit or jegs....about 100 bucks for a set of 10.4 mm race wires.....i changed them when i got new plugs and noticed a bit of power but also better gas mileage.
