looking for some good spark plugs

What kind of spark plugs will perform the best in a 99 f150 5.4? I am looking for a really good premium plug plus don't want any problems later. Plus anyone have any links to em or a part number? Looking for performance and gas mileage but performance is number 1!

I thought the motorcraft plugs was weak and what was the cause of the plug problem on ford trucks? Does anyone have a part number and know neighborhood price range

you have a 99 2v 5.4..the 2004-2008 (maybe 2007) 3v 5.4 were the problems with plugs breaking off in the heads..

go to the parts store..tell them you need motorcraft, and ONLY MOTORCRAFT, plugs for your 1999 f150 5.4 and go change them..im not sure if the 99's have a blowout problem but JIC tighten them to about 28ftlbs and be done with it

Brisk makes a one-piece plug that shouldn't come apart if they hv 2 be removed later. Running them in my '04. Kinda expensive, if I remember

99's and 04's are totally different animals when it comes to spark plugs.
