Changing my plugs and wires tonight I discovered some interesing things.

[Passenger Side]
- 1 plug wire had a large cigar burn on the boot, boot was cracked to hell (Accel 9000's)
- 1 plug (NGK TR55) was loose, I removed it with my hand. The above wire was on this plug.

[Drivers Side]
- 1 plug had the ground electrode bent over so bad it wasnt even vertical with the center electrode.

About 6 months ago I had my heads installed recently by a local speedshop, luckily I only have 500 miles on these heads, however the car seemed to run ok so I never suspected anything. Guess I should have checked all the plugs when they swapped everything.

Here's the million dollar question, how bad was this hurting performance ?

really depends on if you were having missfires otherwise probably very little...one more reason to do the work yourself

damn you didn't hear any ticking noise from the loose plug and cracked boot?

Not sure on the misfires, I'm going to check my scanner log tomorrow.
As far as ticking noises, I dont recall hearing any ticking .
