How Many Miles on Your Factory Plugs

Really, that's not many miles at all. Iridium fine wires should last a lot longer. What are you feeding that thing? 
I use them too, well, Denso Iridium's anyway. I haven't looked at them yet tho. Been in there for 35,000 so far. Before that I used Motorcraft. So, maybe I should check them ehh.

AFR is set to 9.2:1 with no adaptive fuel trims or timing curves. Runs the same timing and fuel curves once it reaches closed loop. I have conservative tune for when the cold weather hits to keep from grenading a cylinder with too much timing. Full advance is close to 48*

Not sure which engine your referring to. Nothing under your name and no sig lol.
Do you have a build thread or something?

Yea, there's a few attempting a 4V build. Curious to see if that turns out, -if they run and how long lol.
They're nothing but trouble and money IMO. -I hope to be proven wrong tho; -that would be something..-About the 4V anyway.
Good Luck for sure.

I've got a 03 Navigator with one in it and its been great.. 120k miles and havent had on bit of trouble from it. It currently makes as much power and torque as my 2v but does it on premium. My 4v build is going to be running e85, as its alot easier to make power with due to the higher octane rating.

I'd rather thro a 3V in there. They make as power as the lightning NA. Or the lighter Coyote which blows them both away. But that's me.
Nothing wrong with what your doing, it's a challenge for sure and I hope it works out.

That's good, - just keep in mind, once you begin modifying those, do as much research as possible. Specially if your installing it in a F150.

I think if I threw a SC on top of the 2v it would grenade it self very quickly. It does have forged pistons, and a forged crank but it is also using STOCK PMR L Rods. It was a budget rebuild many years ago when the truck was still using NPI heads. So it has NPI flat tops with valve reliefs that are at 0 deck, where the typical PI piston is .020"-.028" below deck. So higher compression and boost might be a no no..
