My car has 2400 miles.It has 1500 miles with the Diablo chip i got from Rick @ Amazonracing.
With the help of my friend Adam Dugger:
We took old plugs out and was happy to see they were burning fine.A little tan on all plugs just a tad..no sign of detonation..
Checking the gap,one plug was gapped at 49,2 were at 51 and the other 5 were gapped at 50.
The stock recommended gap is from 42 to 46.
we replaced them with NGKTr6's, gapped them all at 40.
I was recommended by Joe at Mustang Magic to regap my plugs tighter as he noticed a bit of spark blowout reading my dyno sheet..The car made 434.3 rwhp and 403.5 tqe last week.
I will be adding my Catted Bassani X pipe next week it will be interesting to see what my baseline will be as well as what the Catted Bassani x will add. I am not expecting too much.
I will run these plugs about 1500 miles and then compare them to the stock plugs i removed today.
Anybody else change plugs?
What did you observe?

They are down the center of the valve/cam cover, under the cover that says "32V V8".
