I've been having trouble with the gapping of my sparkplugs on my 04 cobra, I'm not sure if I need to use the stock gap size or do I need to gap it different since? my motor is fully built. I just change the plugs from motorcraft to Ngk's and when I took it put for a spin it started bogging at high rpms. What's the gap size u guys using??? Or Wat kind of plugs u guys recommend?
Need some help please! Thanks [patriot]
