I was interested in installing high quality plugs. Who has changed theirs? Is it pretty simple like most cars? Is there any stupid thing I need to know, like a special tool that Ford uses to get to one of them or something. What are the best plugs to get? Will a plug upgrade need a adjustment in tune??? Thanks for any help.

I changed mine to a colder plug since I have a supercharger. I used the autolite HT0 from sparkpugs.com

they are Coil On Plug (cop) so you have to uncrew the coils then pop them off the plug. Its pretty easy.

one thing ive been woundering about is can you gap these plugs? or are you supposed to just leave them how they are since the strap goes all the way around

Vortech makes a special gapping tool for them. And other guys have created some "homemade" solutions. But either way, don't close the gap too much, because you can't "undo" it.
