Barely off topic, but

Per the Ford TSB, OP did it correctly, no? Or am I missing something? Perhaps a bit too much but I don't see too big of an issue. It's been a few years since I did mine but I recall following the Ford TSB and have had no issues since.

I feel it's likely tune related and your tuner should work with you to resolve, or at least verbally assist with troubleshooting. Hopefully you're able to get a log and get some answers.
You do not want anti seize anywhere near the tip of the plug, so if you must coat the smooth part of the plug I would stop applying it 1/4" from the ground strap.

I believe that's about how I did it, maybe a bit closer. Will be swapping plugs shortly here to go to a colder range, so wanted to double check I wasn't missing anything here. Thanks.

Thanks for the input guys. I have been working late and will be for the rest of the week. I will share my finding late tonight. I did some Data logging Sunday afternoon and a few things didn't lot right. The pcm was flashed by ford before I got it. Couldn't find anything online as to what the code meant. I think that may have something to do with it if they didn't account for it..

Just so you are aware..
A lot of shops have stopped using ford racing 0 plugs and pretty much any type of plugs of the sort and all switched to Brisk.

The new ford racing plugs 0 degrees or any ford racing plug seem to have changed manufacturing and A LOT of misfires are happening.

Switch from FRPP to Brisk has cleared up a lot of issues shops have been chasing.
