    I was in the exact same boat. trust me. you wont regret it!. i love it and the fuel bill isnt that much different. get an exhaust and your set. i havent done mine yet, its on the cards. gettin mafless done tomorrow and new magnecor leads and NGK platinum plugs to follow soon. i can keep you posted on how it all goes.

    Why are you wasting money on those leads and plugs? They wont make any difference...except to your back pocket.

    well i dont trust the service history on the car and being the fastideous person i am, i'm slowly going through all serviceable items. next service will see new fluids in diff and g'box, brakes. i just like to know whats new and whats not in my cars. plus being in the parts trade im getting these parts for better than trade.

    When youve decided on a car you wish to buy, give me a call and organise to bring the car down, i will hoist the car, inspect the vehicle, and give you my opinion as to if its a good purchase or not.

    The cost, is what all my customers pay for this service is 700ml Bottle of Wild Turkey approx $45 a small price to pay, for a inspection.

    Craig,

    Alot of LS1 owners dont actually know that the factory spark plug has a hotter heat range than required, even the aftermarket spark plugs listed by NGK, champion etc etc. any LS1 owner that likes to get a little more power, torque the spark plugs actually get changed to a totally different spark plug.
