I am upgrading to a Vortech V-1 and I was just wondering what plugs you guys think would work best with this application.

The instructions say to run stock plugs but should I run copper with it or platinum? I have a set of NGK Iridium IX plugs that I did not install but should I be running colder plugs or copper?

Just wondering what you FI guys are running?

I have those Bosche 4 prong thingamajiggers... and have no problems with missing as I did earlier. I'm running on the rich side, and I think I foul plugs easy, so the extra prongs help.

AWSF have been replaced by AGSF as the recommended series of Motorcraft plug, probably due to the spark plug blowout issue.

I use AGSF-32C @ .054
