Well I just got them on last night, the directions say to take it easy for
the first 50 miles. I took it out last night after the install, it was
raining, so I just took a 50 jaunt up and down I-35. Today I took it out at
lunch and nailed it on Loop 1. It was still going at 5300 in 3rd gear,
where before there was none left at this level. Because of traffic I
could'nt see just how far it would go, but this weekend there is another
race at TAD so that will be the true test. I will let ya'll know how it goes.

The install was very simple took longer to find a socket to fit the crank
than it did to actually install them. One problem worth mentioning. Crower
is full of shit when they said they would fit under the stock valve covers.
They don't, I had to take a hammer to the inside baffle. The next oil change
will be a problem, the oil caps barely have enough clearence to screw in.
Guess I am in the market for some of those snazzy Mopar valve covers. Oh
Well. All in the name of performance.

As for spark plugs, The Champion Golds and the truck plugs are damn near the
same thing. Can't loose either way.

Will update soon..

Alan...
