Yes depending on what HP shot of nitorus your running you will need colder plugs and retared your timing a couple degrees. Just get the number off your factory plugs and go to the parts store and tell them you need a plug that is 1-2-3 steps colder that the facotry plug,again depending on the shot your running.

i'll be using a 75-100 shot. The people that work in the auto parts are dumb so they wont know what that is.

keep your timing where it should be stock if you're using the stock ecm. if you havn't messed with your timing before, leave it alone and you should be fine.

I have found that autoparts stores don't know didly besides what the computer tells them. I tried to get a step colder for the 355 than the "recommended" b/c it was running bad, went in and they kept asking for the car year etc, even though I don't need the stock plugs w/ the TFS heads... Glad I know the PN now so I just ask for that instead of messing w/ some non-knowing punk...
