What type of plugs did you put in, and did you gap them to spec?

You have to gap your plugs to factory specs. Just buy the two dollar disk gapper on the counter of your local Autozone, Napa, whatever, and make sure you follow the manual to get the gap perfect.

You didnt answer my question either, what type of plugs did you put in? Brand? are the Iridium, platinum, etc?
