Yeah Saturday would work well for me. Don't have anything going on.
Jesse what do you think about doing the headers on the 27th? Rodney said he would be able to help that day as well and Trevor your help would be appreciated as well. I just think that a Saturday would work best in case something happens and we need the next day. Let me know what you think about the 27th. It would be nice to get it done before it gets too cold out.

Plugs def., wires are your choice. They are so short anyway, really not going to gain alot of any. Its up to you how much you wanna spend and tweak, but yes, DEF do plugs, and not cheap ones either!!!

hey man, NGK TR55's are the way to go. You do have to change them more often, but its honestly not that big of a deal really. I like NGk plugs, and tend to gap them tighter then factory specs. i gapped mine at .035, i think factory is somewhere around .060, WAY too much gap IMHO. Also, i can pick up the plug you need for the EGR whenever you decide when to do it, i will bring it with if you want me too. Just let me know when you need to get it done. 27th or anything after probably works for me. i have to drive to Illinoise this saturday to get some TD's for the TA! Cant wait!

Yeah, NGK is what I meant, I was thinking TGK for some reason. I will get some of those as well if you all think it would be a good idea. Rodney, I assume you will be able to gap them for me as well? Trevor, I bought the car about a month ago with 10,586 miles on it. It has almost 12k on it now
. It is fairly clean.So are people still trying to get together this weekend? Keep me posted, I would like to meet some new people.

Whatever time is good with me. I will more than likely be down there already. Maybe Jason (unstang) will chime in with a good spot to meet. I suppose we could always meet at a restaurant or sports bar type place, grab something to eat, and then cruise around for a bit. I am up for anything though.

Well, its not the milage on the plug that made me ask, its the age - the plugs (if never changed before) are close to 7 years old. I have the 27th marked down in my books, should not take to long. Should sound real good.
Im sure I could gather up some more peeps

Well, turns out im not going to drive up there to pick the setup up. He cant give me a time, so im not going to drive 3 1/2 hours to find out he isnt home on saturday, so told him he can keep them. Anyhow, will probably just buy an x pipe, and the mandrel bends I need and make my own now.

Rodney you still plan on going to Tri-State Saturday? I would like to run my car before I add headers just to get a baseline time. I looked on their website and they don't have anything for Saturday on there though. Sunday it says Test and Tune though. If they have something on Saturday I will probably go over. Anyone else that wants to join from my area that would be cool. I will say, that track is nicer than Cedar Falls. Since we are doing my headers on the 27th I wont be able to make it to Cedar Falls that day anyway.
