Sparkplugs

First and foremost, I do apologize if this is a repost but for some reason I am not allowed to use the search function. My question to yall is what would be the best sparkplugs to buy. I currently have a tuner, and banks exhaust. Plan on upgrading the air intake to banks or volant. What plugs would work the best for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I've heard that the factory plugs are the way to go, and should last you a long time. There is probably no reason to even change the stock plugs at this time, even after adding the CAI later on (I have a Volant and love it).

Well I have 60,000 miles on my truck and when I get on it good it starts making this clicking sparking noise. I was just guessing that maybe I need to change my plugs.

If you have a 5.4 3 valve, you are limited in choices. reason being these are extended plugs, not like the normal plugs you most commonly see.

Your best bet would be the stock motorcraft plugs. Autolite makes some as well, and even offers them in one heat range colder than stock, which is ideal for engines with SERIOUS bolt ons and supercharged applications.

We sell OEM and Autolite Plugs, as well as the specialty sockets on our site, for a pretty good price!

$99 includes shipping, and the motorcrafts retail for $18 a piece from the dealer.

Everything at the dealer is always inflated. I wouldn't ever compare prices with them...
