NGK plugs
Can i install my NGK 1 step colder plugs with the stock gap they came with to my 3.1" pulley, stock injectors and stock tune? or should i wait till i install my 2.8 and 60# injectors and all? i found some time to do something today and figured maybe i can install the plugs

dont just trust a stock gap.
gap them properly, and test different gaps to see what your car likes.

Why are you modding your car if your not willing to do a little research, and learn something.

Gap plugs.
Stick plugs in car.
Start car.
Drive car.
Car studders on acceleration/hesitates/idles rough = car does not like gap.
Turn off car.
Take out plugs.
Re-gap plugs.

Start car.
Drive car.
Car idles smooth and has smooth acceleration = car likes gap.

Shouldnt you make sure the engine is totally cold before you insert/remove the plugs though?
