I'm thinking about buying these.

Spark Plugs:
NGK G-Power Platinum Performance Spark Plugs 3403 at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

Cold Air Intake:
Mustang GT Cold Air Intake at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

Are those good spark plugs or should I just go with the stock motorcraft one's? Any benefits with going with NGK over stock? That CAI should be a pretty decent one, will do a way better job then stock correct? Any recommendations and inputs gladly accepted.

Those plugs are great. I run them myself and got them from AM too.

Personally, I'd stay away from any metallic CAI kit. Drive around for about 15-20 minutes, then open your hood and start feeling around for how hot everything is. Now imagine if you had a shiney piece of chrome in there and how ridiculously hot that would be. Kinda defeats the purpose of a "CAI" no?

Look into a non-metallic CAI like a JLT or K&N FIPK. IMO, JLT is the absolute best CAI hands-down.

The platinums will last you longer but won't give you as nice a spark as a copper. If you can afford it, buy these.

Click to expand...

The ones I linked are TR55s. I used them for a long time. Now cause of the blower I use TR6s.

Unless you're looking for longevity, I'd stick with a stock-style copper plug. They're cheap and work the best.

x2 on the intake... chrome looks nice, but gets very hot. You can touch my K&N after the car has been sitting in traffic on a summer day and it won't melt your hand to it, lol.
