Thanks! The passenger side is TIGHT, be patient. It took me about 3 hours to do the passenger side (about an hour was trying to recover a plug I dropped that went into the frame), and about 30 minutes to do the driver's side. Thanks again for the "how to".

Supercharger install. Need to drop a heat range so no plug flame out on high boost applications as when WOT.

I found a great tool at harbor fright for changing my plugs it's a long thin swivel head one end is 1/4 the other 3/8".
I used the tool and a 1" 3/8 extension the length of the tool made changing the plugs simple. cost $28.00
I can't get a link to work, Google: dual head swivel ratchet to see it.

Just the wires for me, because every bit of extra horsepower helps!

Impressive gains from just wires. I plan to watch this video in more detail tomorrow at the office when the lady isn't trying to sleep next to me.

I'm sure he's referring to the snake oil that is aftermarket plug wires. Nonetheless, the above video is intriguing.

Disregard, the video has been removed.
