With a 4# pulley I would go with the TR 5 gapped at .038 or with a TR 6 gapped at .044. What other mods do you have or plan to have in the near future? If your running race gas and a race program on your chip go with the TR 6 or BR 7. If you drive it everyday and just run 93 octane and a sport chip go with the TR 5.

Is your JL chip a street or race program? If you have Ford do the plugs they will gap them to whatever you tell them to, but yea with a spark plug gapper. (Feeler gauge.)

If I sold $90 plugs I'd want you to buy them too. =)

The NGKs will be fine . . .

I installed them in my 2001 L with excellent response. Im running JDM flip chip, breather, filter and boost bypass. Better response and feels like its running better.

I did the TR-5's also, better throttle response, better idle, engine seems better all around.
