What would be recommended spark plug type and the spark plug gap for 96 cobra with vortech. What do you guys use.

If you dont gap them correctly can the car misfire?

spark plug....

(im going to try motocraft fine wire ) the gap should be stock(.054) unless you are running 10+ psi. NGK TR6 is what everybody is using I'm in the middle of the project with a V2 sq @ 7 to 9 psi. with cooler on my stock 1997 cobra.....i still do not have it tuned........good luck......

I run the NGK TR-6 as they are a range cooler than stock. Mine were originally set up with a 0.054" gap but I had misfire codes showing up. I closed the gap down to 0.035" and the misfires went away.
