holy crap what a difference
I did plugs, plug wires, and a fuel filter today. What a difference in performance. I have had the car a little over a year and I have noticed in the past few months the car hesitates off of idle and the top end power is down. After the work today all of that is gone.
Costs:
Fuel Filter - Napa Gold - Napa - $43
Spark Plugs - AC Delco Iridium - Autozone - $6.99 ea. $60.28
Spark Plug wires - MSD super conductor - summit - $61.20 + $10 Handling
I had the stock type plugs in there before - there was a puck missing off of one.
First time on this car - 2 hours total

Wouldn't hurt to check the air filter is OK and the throttle body is clean too.

I have an aftermarket exhaust and I did not have to remove anything to get to the Fuel Filter. Including jacking up the car and setting the jackstand - it took me less than 30 Min. to change the filter.
There is one 10mm nut holding on the filter. Two clips on the rear that you squeeze with your hand - to remove the input hoses.
The fitting on the front is the type that you need the tool (two half circles you press in the fitting).
Thanks to a post I had read earlier - I balled up an old t-shirt and put it underneath the fittings and caught all of the fuel that ran out.
I have a washable air filter and my air box is see through - I keep it clean.
