Default Motorsport tune-up parts

I just called all the local dealers around my area, and none have motorsport parts. Can any of you give me a number where I can order these high performance parts at a good price ?

Joe

Joe, just tell me what do you need...plugs? cap and rotor? or something "bigger" like heads, headers, etc.

Ford dealers do sell Motorcraft !!

You can also try www.SummitRacing.com

Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP) is the brand of Ford Perfromance parts. (Was Ford Motorsports)

yes.... i too will soon be getting a tune up for the mustang.... i need some advice..... whats everyone's opinions on platnum plugs?? i seem to remember reading on one of these boards to "stay away from platnum"......but i forget why.

but for the rest of the tune up everyone recommends Ford Motorcraft parts....and Mobil1 synthetic oil?? is that correct?

Raptor, I need

Wires
plugs
Cap&rotor
fuel filter
PCV
Oil filter

Everyone on the forum says the motorsport brand is best.

not4speed.....the plat plugs are no good for the 5.0 stangs, but ok for 4.6, and yea everyone likes to use mobil 1 oil.

I'm going to use Castrol syntec

why are the platinum plugs no good on the 5.0?


i dont use them, but im just curious. i honestly dont belive you will find any extra power by going to more expensive spark plugs.



as far as that stuff gixxerjoe needs....go into a dealership and give them that list. i dont know what is going on but dealers do carry them.

um, Motorsport does not make these, buy Motorcraft, as the the wires, the 9MM FRPP (Ford Racing Performance Parts) wires are not the best.....
