That's pretty cool, I don't want to come off sounding like a dik, just wondering, but why do people list plugs as a mod?? I mean they're worth a fraction of a HP, and makes me think of a *****, when they're like yeah it's got plugs and wires.

not really, performance plugs are a waste, regular AC Delco work great. just remember, platinum lasts longer, but copper conducts better.
The difference that you're feeling is like what you said, you were in need of a tune up.

you were right about the plugs though, its not really a performance enhancer but you need good ones to have good performance.

Nice times!

My guess is that he stepped to the next colder plug to avoid detonation under boost (more than stock).

Good luck with any future mods.
