Major power loss!! Lincoln 2010 EB. HELP!!

What tune are you using torries? And what type of tune? Mines 93 octane with smooth shifting-mild tune then the boost tune is where I seem to have issues and hiccups in the power delivery

If the plugs are indeed stock/stock gap, that will NOT work with a tune.  You need to have at the very least, plug gap set to 0.030 (I believe Torrie likes 0.028) and plugs changed regularly depending on how fast this gap grows.  The NGKs from Torrie or the Motorcraft SP534 plugs should work fine as replacements.  So add that to the work that needs doing before the MKS is able to run smoothly again.

Do you know the part number for the ngk? Wonder if anyone's tired any other type of performance plug.

I'm using Torries 93 octane with smooth shifting as well, also modded for 3BAR. I would data log if you have the equipment to, maybe you have a corrupt tune file or need some adjustments dialed in to your car specifically.
 
I tried some AutoLite iridium plugs that worked amazingly well at first though I forgot to add any dielectric grease, at all, so I think I fouled the plugs. When I went to pull them I threw in some SP534 gapped to .030 and used dielectric grease liberally.

I still have the plugs just lying here, probably 2,000 miles on them. Should I clean them and toss them back in? They made the car pull like an ape and then started fouling due to the lack of grease I believe as the SP534 greased cleared it up.
 
What's the part number for the Autolite, where did you get it from?  I don't see it listed either on Rockauto or Advance Auto websites.

Here's OReilly's page showing the various plug options for the 3.5EB, including plug gap:

Since the F150 guys have a huge thread going on about spark plug & appropriate gapping:

I have every bolt on part for the SHO including Meth injection.  I purchased the motocraft plugs gapped at .030, and when spraying meth, it seems to be loosing spark, so I am having vehicle picked up by Livernois and transported to their facitlity to put new plugs in and tighten the gap, and dyno tune the meth kit.  I would def. recommend putting the gap at .028.  You may lose some MPG..... but the performance is what will improve.

Is the smaller gap recommended for when using meth, or is this something we're just now concluding after getting some time in on these ecoboost.

No clue, being a law student I don't try to push the car that much that often! Though when I do I know I spin in 1st and 2nd gear so I would say it's pretty quick :chay:
