Haha thanks I gave up on finding a sigmaker so I made my own crappy one.
You know if you read those write ups for cams and stuff and just experiment it really isn't that bad on your own. Start small, go big.

yeah ive glanced through them but im little scared to start taring my truck apart especially knowing that there has been some changes from the previous 4.7. not knowing kinda scares me also having read through the other post its only 05-07s and i know that there are two different sioze plugs between the intake and exhaust sides.

haha very very true... no worries like i said i wanna mod her but just lack of knowledge im sure ill get a break somewhere also i was wondering with the dual plug system... im currently running bosch on all 16, if i swap out the intakeside for say E3s then would i need to swap the exhaust side as well or would i be fine running two different type of plugs

I believe that only the bottom ones are platinium..recommendation is to replace top plugs at 30k miles and bottom ones at 100k miles. Also, you are supposed to remove the bottom ones at 30k and put never-seize on them, or you will never get them out at 100k.
This is what someone I know was told by a trusted tech at local dealer...I know the guy and trust him 100% (He does work for me on the side )

I got the Bosch 7962 at advance auto for my 2008 upper plugs. Make sure you have an air compressor handy for the sand and a slim socket (Husky from Home Depot). A regular "slim" socket for some reason will not fit the 2008 engine, it will come close but will get wedged so be carefull.
