I have noticed very little if any difference between the 22's and 24's... I will be going back to the 22's after the end of this 10k mile test.

I would recommend at least a one step colder plug. Even with the upgraded intercooler, the Ko3 is a flame thrower at the stage 3 power levels.

Do you recommend new plugs for stage 1 tune? If so which ones?

Yes, any tune it is suggested 1 step colder

Should the map be retuned to accommodate the new plugs?

All if my Denso's came pre-gapped. Of course, it's best practice to check the gap yourself (feeler gauge, never wire with precious metal plugs) before install.

The set of ITV24's I got 4 days ago came all at 0.032, I closed them out a little to 0.029 before I installed them. I'm running them because that's what Ford advertises to run with the FRPP Calibration The stock plugs I took out with only 6000 miles, were gapped at 0.035

Say I pull my plugs and they are the 6 rated plugs, would ford replace them with 7 if I took it in since that is supposedly the stock temp?

 

[Jstump2490]

So I pulled a plug and it said CYFS12PC, which was replaced by CYFS12Y2 so I assume they are the same heat range. I called my local dealer and they said for the Focus ST, the plug that was recommended was the Y2 plug. But I looked at the NGK designation on my PC plug and it was ILTR6G8G so which plug do I get to go 1 step colder than what I have?

if your running a tune then buy the denso 22's

700 miles until my final spark plug testing video!!!

Thank you for doing this and looking forward to it! I got the ITV24s simply because they were used in the FRPP package. Will be great to see the condition of the ITV22s vs the ITV24s after a decent amount of use.

Even though the Ford tuner comes with 24's?

I have seen no difference between the 22's and 24's. I am running each set of plugs for 10k miles.

Thanks a lot for your back to back testing, will be interesting to see how the ITV24's look like after the 10k miles mark, and how they're wearing with respect of the 22's.

My 24s all had a very tight .032 gap. I don't understand why some of you are closing that gap. A smaller gap resists blowout but I'm yet to see blowout problems. If anything a wider gap would be favorable for performance but I trend to stick close to factory as it's usually optimal.

Any reason why my car would feel less torquey after denso itv22 install? Do I need to do a KAM reset?
