Default Tune-Up after 128k

Bought my car wit 126k on the dash. I ordered msd s/c wires and ngk tr55 plugs.
Took about 2 hrs 40 min. Total to tune. Drivers side took 40 minutes and didn't want to miss anything and the passenger side took 2hrs total. I took the air tube off and the coil packs,helped out a lot. The #8 plug wire was a bi#!& to get off and yes I tackled it from the bottom. I want to thank my LS1 family for the post, helped out a lot. Definitely more power. P.S. don't forget the anti-seize for the plugs. 310 hp feels like 400 hp.

I did not brk any plugs, I got 1 small cut on finger and a couple of whips. That back plug is still on my mind,lol. I might do a l92 swap . I want a 10 sec. Sleeper with manifolds. Stealth mode is the only way to get money.
