    Hey,

    When I get the car back (SOG's got it running but is not ready to release it yet), I plan on swapping synthetic engine oil back in, swapping the plugs, and possible the fuel filter. If anybody else has any other ideas of making my engine run amazing before I get Ecutekked let me know.

    What are some good spark plugs to run on our cars?

    I like the NGK Iridiums. Possibly a step colder.

    I always run factory spark plugs, thats what the engine is designed to run with. Definitely if you decide to run aftermarket plugs, dont run bosch platinum +4 with the 4 ground electrodes or anything similar. Those are horrible because you are only going to get one spark to one of the electrodes, and the other 3 ground electrodes are just blocking the A/F mixture from the spark. Also just a side note, when you get them the gap spec is around 0.028".

    Yeah step colder plugs would be good depending on how much power you plan on makeing. You should be able to get the plugs from SOG if not them Topspeed may have some laying around or can order them. NGK is a good plug.

    Yeah.

    I'm not sure what plugs are on my car. It's got a hair over 40K miles on it.
