Sal, I need those plugs

It is impossible to reach you by phone to let you know what I have and get your advice, so I will do it here.

I have:
Ford 90mm Mas Air and ProPipe Intake
9inch S&M Open Conical Filter
Single Blade TB
2lb Upper Billet Pulley
Ported Plenum and Manifold
Self Ported Blower with Graphite Rotor Pack and upgraded bearings
(my porting was just smoothing everthing out and welding the silencer holes shut, nothing extreme)
Full Bassani Exhaust with Headers
JDM Electric Fan, 170? Thermostat and Cobra Water Pump
200amp Alternator
PSP Fresh Air Box

I want to get rid of my stock plugs and get a set of NGK BR7EF's for my 99L.
I was putting out 12-13lbs of boost before I had my blower rebuilt.
Is this the correct plugs? You commented on these being the best plugs for a truck with stock to 4lbs of extra boost.

Also I heard on another board that said the Ford Torq spec for the plugs is 9-15lbs, is this correct. And lasty, is the torq spec for the mainfold bolts the same as the blower bolts (18/33)?

Thanks for the help!

If this is correct please bill me and send the plugs out.

Is this Steve? If so, they are going out today. They were backordered for a short time. As for the torque, tighten them down by hand, then go 1/16 of a turn more. I don't use torque wrench specs on plugs.

Thanks, once I have the plugs I just need to finish alittle more polishing and I can install this. Thanks for all your informative info Sal!



A plug change should be pretty easy with the top of the engine removed!
