We (owners of duratec vehicles) have the coil on plug system which can pump out a lot of good efficient spark that is plenty good for any oem plug... even most forced induction builds.

I haven't had issues with mine and they are not motorcraft jus saying. I never asked I just bought whatever was between cheap and expensive lol $7 a plug I think :-/

Lol, I'm not saying that only motorcraft will work on our cars, it's just the smarter choice to use what the car was designed to use. Anything more is going to be a gimmick and a waste of money. Example: those iridium four prong crap that costs like $20 a plug, no need for that... ever. Use what you want or feel like, won't hurt anything, but when I was working as a tech I saw more troubleshooting of aftermarket plugs than the oem recommended plugs. I'm done

I get that but I was just saying they don't have to be motorcraft and who the hell would spend $20 a plug. And fwiw those plugs I have Walmart didn't carry so it is what is /done
