Do it yourself! Take your current plugs and gap them to .30 or .28 - depends on your tune and other mods.

If it is a 14+ with less than 10k miles on the plugs gap them down.
IF NOT
Then you need new plugs.

Motorcraft SP534 plugs work just fine, gap them to 0.030 for LME tunes and 0.028 for Unleashed tunes. An alternate proven plug is the NGK Iridium ix LTRR71X-11 stock # 6510.

You can get either plug practically anywhere online at major auto stores including Advance Auto, O'Reillys, Amazon, etc.

best way to gap plugs?

 

[SHOdded]

I would direct you to a proper tool, but it seems difficult to get, may have private branding from Jegs or Summit Racing.

Alternatively, there is this:

Definitely use a feeler gauge though of some sort to measure the gap, don't be tempted by the round disc types.

 

[danny mage]

got it, and can i only get the thermostats on unleashed or LMS site?

 

[SHOdded]

As of right now, correct.

 

[danny mage]

will be ordering from LMS!!!! can wait to get some swag Jaimie Tejeda

 

[Livernois Motorsports]

The reason why you cannot get the EvenFlo anywhere else is because it is our exclusive product.

[danny mage]

Any drawbacks to using a 'tune-gapped' plug on a stock tune?

Running colder plugs on an engine will lead to pre-ignition, because the plug gets too hot. I wouldn't run colder plugs in a non-tuned engine, because you won't get any gains and can potentially melt the electrode on the plug, and maybe even cause some premature piston damage.

In all actuality, unless you are adding upwards of 75HP and increasing compression, even a stock plug will work fine when you get a tune.

Sure! Bad mpg, incomplete combustion, fouled catalytic converters (maybe even plugged), all that good stuff.

Please help me understand because I think maybe you have that backwards. Plug operating ranges are ~500-800 degrees C. A colder plug operates at a lower electrode temperature, not hotter. If the selected heat range is too high, the plug ceramic will operate at a temperature in excess of 800 degrees C; that will result in accelerated wear of the electrode, and possibly pre-ignition.

You're not a nerd Jamie, you're an engineer, a scientist if you will. Those are the kind of people I trust to tune my SHO
