Gonna Get a new Coil Pack...what Plugs should I get?
Im gonna go ahead and give the Underdog Performance coil pack a try and I wanna go ahead and replace the plugs at the same time since I will be re gapping them anyways. What spark plugs do ya'll recommend? I remember hearin about NGK plugs once but usually what I have heard is motorcraft are the best.
Tell me what to get!

Just one thing to notice. I picked a 2006 Ranger for this (for Rich's benefit), but if you look at the recommended plug from Bosch, NGK, or Denso, they recommend the SAME plug for the 2.3L, 3.0L, and 4.0L. Only Motorcraft recommends a
different P/N for the 2.3L, 3.0L, and 4.0L:
SP439 for 2.3L, SP432 for 3.0L, and SP412 for 4.0L
So, the heat range is optimized for each engine with Motorcraft, NOT the
aftermarket plugs!
I'm of the opinion "close enough" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, NOT spark plugs!!

That is actually a really good comparison there, shows they have just the right temps needed for what you need them for.. as opposed to having a 'generic' do it all for it.
