You mean the PCM reprogram?

You're wasting money on the platinums. The plain old copper 3923s work
great. Better than the platinums in your engine, actually

How many miles on the wires? If they're old, good time to replace them
with some good, fat aftermarket wires.

I've not heard of any wear issues w/ the 180. I expect you'll be fine.
