Spark plug tune

So I went ahead and got the NGK BRK7e spark plugs. Can I install them without getting a tune? My plans are to install these, a heat exchanger later this summer, then possibly a tune. Will my car be fine??? Will it run any different?

You probably won't notice much of a difference unless your old plugs were old/faulty.

I always throw in a couple sets anytime I buy something from Summit. Freight is high if you just buy a set of plugs, but they always have something to blow the budget on...

Pretty much any more driving around town hunting parts is more expensive than waiting for the UPS truck to show up..

Generally have to order them from advance auto takes a couple days when they're not in stock. They carry the autolites and the ngks (7's and 8's) just give them the model number; but not the denso replacements.

Not sure what other brands people use, but if you aren't stock you shouldn't be using a stock replacement plug, it should be at least 1 step colder.
