It's for a 92 5.0, I have a vortech supercharger on my car and I wanted to now what step I am suppose to get for the spark plugs. I heard it's two steps lower than stock but kragens couldn't search what two steps lower would be. So if anyone know I'll appreciate it if they can help me out! Thanks

I'd be more worried about spark gap then spark plug heat. Colder plugs will help for sure, but I don't see it where you have to go two ranges colder then stock (perhaps just one, but the stock plugs for whatever heads you have should be good..especially on the older 5.0.

One step colder than stock, id go with Denso U groove, set gap to .035" and you be ready to rock n roll! [patriot]

Stock plugs are Autolites 25s so one heat range colder would be 24s
