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.
cranners Member 56 Member For: 17y 10m 6d Posted 19/10/09 12:15 AM Posted 19/10/09 12:15 AM Done some searching and found this thread, my xr6 has been running really bad for the last few weeks sounding like its only running on 5 cylinders.....Replaced the plugs with just normal ones from Bursons which are prob gapped at the 1.1 as mentioned above..Once I get these re gapped to 0.8 should this maybe correct my problem??ThanksCranners
