I got hooker comps. and changing plugs is a b1t(h!! I've never seen a set of SLP's installed. To expensive for me to even look at.

Do your wires touch the headers. I have been told to run short spark plugs? Ever heard of this?

I'm using Accel 276S, meaning "shorty" spark plugs. Improves boot clearance to the tubes of the SC shorty headers.

I dread that first plug change. I put these plugs in before the headers, with the engine out of the car. Hopefully, I won't have to pull the engine when I do go to change them...

I have slp 1 3/4 headers with my vortec heads (straight plugs) and changing the plugs isn't bad at all, maybe 30 minutes. #6 is a pain... but a hell of a lot easier than w/ the manifolds. I am using full length plugs and accell 90* plug wires, I used the little plastic wire looms that came with the wires, no problems with roasting wires.
