There only purpose is for forced induction. Unless you have a turbo or a supercharger I really see no reason to buy them. A waste of money IMO.

They would also be good if your spraying but would only hurt you if your stock.

GTs run PZT-1s as far as I know, which are already the colder service plug recommended for the 5.4 3V. I agree with the others, unless you're running forced induction or spray, you probably won't see any benefits over PZT-1s or 2s.

The Autolite HTO are the same as the Ford Racing 0. Whipple told me either one would work just as well. Autolites run about $80 for a set.

Do the replacement factory plugs still run the risk of corrosion and breakage in the head?
