Thanks! The passenger side is TIGHT, be patient. It took me about 3 hours to do the passenger side (about an hour was trying to recover a plug I dropped that went into the frame), and about 30 minutes to do the driver's side. Thanks again for the "how to".

I found a great tool at harbor fright for changing my plugs it's a long thin swivel head one end is 1/4 the other 3/8".

I used the tool and a 1" 3/8 extension the length of the tool made changing the plugs simple. cost $28.00

I can't get a link to work, Google: dual head swivel ratchet to see it.

Just the wires for me, because every bit of extra horsepower helps!

Impressive gains from just wires. I plan to watch this video in more detail tomorrow at the office when the lady isn't trying to sleep next to me.

Disregard, the video has been removed.
