I just got the regular satin kit, but it still looks real nice and clean. The Boost-A-Pump controller install is pretty slick too. They mounted it in the trunk on the driver's side in front of the taillight. Brenspeed also told me that my Brisk spark plugs came in and are shipping out today. So it looks likely that I'll be doing the plug change next weekend. They were on backorder, but Brenspeed assured me that I'd be ok on the stock plugs for now. Anyone know of any sort of how-to or write-up on that?

Ok cool, yeah if you find it let me know. I've never done the change before, but I know it should be pretty easy. I need to find out the torque to use when installing the new plugs.

I popped the hood last night and it sure does look pretty. I just got the regular satin kit, but it still looks real nice and clean. The Boost-A-Pump controller install is pretty slick too. They mounted it in the trunk on the driver's side in front of the taillight.

I received a reply from the shop on the A/F:
"We used your wide band in your car to monitor the A/F. It was at 11.3 to 11.5 thru the entire run."
That wasn't exactly what I had in mind, lol, however I believe those #s are in range...?

I swapped my plugs out to the Autolite HT0's a few months back and maybe it was just me, but the car felt much better afterwards....but it could have also been that my other plugs were really needing to be changed out and now it's back to where it was when I had the car done??
