I can still feel a mojor difference in the performance but it is missing a bit on boost and blew a bit of smoke also.... I did this a little when I had it stock also.... I am just thinking woul it be spark plugs? and what gapping I should have them at.... shpould I get the ford xr6t spark plugs? the typhoon plugs? or just any NGK plugs etc???? its a 03 xr6t 4spd auto if that will change anything... any help would be awesome...

I decided to get new plugs as mine were 70k old anyways. if your car has 5k on the clock, I would try gapping your current plugs mate, just to save the $70.
