All gapped to .054'', right in spec. New plugs perform MUCH better.

Always go motorcraft or autolite. Good job finding your problem though.

You asked...

And when I first got the plugs. I asked for Motorcraft, they had 2. I asked for Autolites (3 different kinds) they didn't have enough. So I pretty much settled for the Bosch.

I wish I had a good video from when the plugs were bad.

Imagine that sound, with a mild-ish cam. It sounded really nice, just ran like **** haha

Plugs look like this...

EDIT:

Misfire on cylinders 1 and 3, I bought Motorcraft plugs and will be putting them on when the car cools down. If I can find the receipt, Autozone said they would refund my money for the Bosch plugs.

DAYUM, the electrode is GONE, Bosch FTL.
