Procal tune and plugs

[Elhendo]

I’ve got the procal added. I have new plugs gapped one level colder .0028. Do I need to do that right away or should I use my existing plugs for a while then go colder when I need to replace?

Stock plugs are fine for the Ford Performance tune. The one step colder plugs shouldn’t hurt anything, but not really needed unless you turns things up a notch.

I don't have the tune yet, but i do feel like replacing my plugs and getting them gapped properly will make a difference in fuel economy. THoughts?

I think unless you have a bad plug to begin with that it won't make much of a difference - but I'm eager to hear some real world data if you try it!

I just feel that not all plugs are done the "right way" from the factory....my fuel economy is terrible (nothing past 13.5) - and I never use sport mode, don't drive fast on the road, or even floor the accelerator. I can't fathom how some people here are getting 19-21mpg....???? #mustsolveit

Could be in your case - worth a shot

Wow, 13.5 is really bad for a 2.7 Sas. I'm a 2 door and run BFG MT 35's and still average almost 18 mpg with getting 21-22 on longer trips. Have you checked your air filter to see if it's clogged up? Maybe you got a bad muffler, but something isn't right if you're getting less than 14 mpg. 90% of my driving is short 10 minutes drives which hurts mpg but I still get 18+ in the warmer months.

EXACTLY. 90% are also shorter drives. I can't possibly have close to the fuel economy of a Lambo....UGH. I'm constantly cleaning my filters so no clogging there.

Have you checked your OBD for any issues?
That fuel is going somewhere and it can’t be good.

I see your in Vegas. Are you idling a lot to cool it down before you get in?
