Well did the plugs and the homebrew intake today. Took the time to try
indexing the plugs. Heard some people have had good results and others say
it made no differance. I'll see when I fill up again. As for the plugs,
why does the manufacture put them in so blasted tight. Broke three and
smashed two fingers removing them. A few of them the whole vehicle was
moving trying to get them to come out. Granted they were probably the
original plugs and have been installed for about three years. Now to decide
on the best muffler, still leaning towards the Ultra Flo myself. Love the
sound it has.
