I just wanna say that everything that was said about the Taylor Thundervolts being a very good wire is true. I had been using the FRPP wire set but one went bad on me and I had a misfire so I ordered up a set of Taylors. The misfire is gone and I think it runs better than it ever did with the FRPP wires. I'll just rehash what's already been said. FRPP wires=Fail. Thundervolts kick butt!

03 SVT plugs
I just plulled one from a used 03 SVT with 76K miles. The car idels a bit rough when cold but no noticable miss when run. The old plug is an Autolite XP 536 ti.and the center electrode seems to have been worn down to a sharp pencil lead like point. I presume a titanium? or a platinum? Anyway its a stock SVT not looking for max performance so I'm thinking of installing the denso platiniums. Would anyone advice for something better? Is the Motorcraft copper better for a totally OEM car?
Also - while the wires look just fine, if the rough idle does get better should I replace the wires next? I got impatient and just installed a set of motorcraft OEMs I bought from autozone. Gapped at .054 per spec. Now the initial idle is a bit more rough than it was with the old plugs (which went deeper into the combustion chamber.) It also showed a bit of hesitation when first fired up. I'll double check my installation but at this point I'm thinking I choose the wrong plug even though I went with the factory spec!

I would just use the stock Ford Platinums, cheaper than Denso and perform just as well if not better.

My local Ford dealer has the Motorcraft Copper's in stock (SP-463) so I'll pick those up today.
I ordered my Taylor wires from Summit Racing today, so they'll be here in a week or so. My question is this: Should I gap the plugs at .060 and install them with the stock wires, until next week when the Taylors arrive? Thanks in advance for the help!!!! |

I would. and if they try to miss just close them back down until your new wires arrive.

So has anyone noticed a drop in MPG after installing the Thundervolts (.060 gap)along with the copper cores? That's about all I have done to my SVT aside from the cfm thermostat, borla cat back and K&N air filter.

Just curious. Would it be a benefit to go to a ten mm spark plug wire set on a stock SVT over 8 mm spark plug wires?

The bigger the wire the less resistance... the less resistance the more spark you get to the plug.
and Yes, CFM is a very good company.
