spark plugs for a supercharger?
Car: 2006 mustang gt
mods: v-2 vortech supercharger H.O. polished kit
so im wondering what kind of spark plugs would be best to run in this. I was told to run autolight Ht0's but i would like to hear other options as well if anyone has any.

Re: spark plugs for a supercharger?
The polished SC makes a world of difference. . . usually I recommend the Ht0's but polished superchargers require a special platinum coated spark plug otherwise the SC's feelings will be hurt. . .
Who's doing your tune? Run what was recommended and let your tuner know; they should take that into account on your final tune. I've always run NGK's in the LS world.

I always used the NGK tr6ix in my Cobra
Good choice calling Vortech but gap is very dependent on the car.
Also recommend Kevin Adolf at PAS for your tune. Best Mustang shop in Virgina

Re: spark plugs for a supercharger?
gotcha, what about heat ranges? i know on supercharged applications i believe it should have a lower heat range on the spark plugs because of the boost is that true?
