I've seen advertising about the special ignition wires, 'blueprinted' injectors, and platinum plugs, and wondered just how much each helps. As far as cost the plugs are very inexpensive. No brainer,

Scott queries: are the Yep, but not necessarily because they make more power. The electrodes wear much more slowly, and they're less prone to fouling. Heard When somebody says that plugs or wires wil

My disclaimer: I am not a mechanic. TAJMOATPS (these are just my opinions and they probably stink). lack the durability of platinum. Drag racers tend to go with the copper plugs, and nothing weird l

Ah, cheap improvements - those are the kind I like! :) Marginally. Worth it? In a sport where the difference between 1st and 2nd can be thousandths of a second, any improvement is worth it. Unless, o

Almost everyone I have spoken to has mentioned an increase of the feeling of "smoothness". I was thinking along the lines of a car with 95,000 miles that I have not known all of its life may not have
