The Gen3 uses motorcraft sp551 or sp558 while the Gen 2 uses sp548. The are identical as far as thread, reach and gap but the Gen3 has a heat range of 7 vs the Gen2 heat range of 6. Found on O'Reilly's web site.
 
I'd give Shaun a shout since he is doing your tuning. Your plug heat range may depend on where he maps the a/f mixture and timing advance. It's all going to depend on a happy medium of getting the best burn and least probability of pre-ignition.
