Question

Tuning up

My 98 Z28 just passed 71,000 miles today. After i but some sub frame connecters and get those installed, I'm thinking about replacing the spark plugs and wires, i wanna get a new Holley power shot air filter because it would look good with my clear lid, and probably some fuel injector cleaner. What else should I do for a simple tune up? Is there anything I'm missing?

You should invest in a new fuel filter, you sound like you have everything else taken care of.

Get Redline fuel injector, I could actualy feel the dif.
Also clean your MAF internal wires with a q-tip and alcohol (BE GENTLE), and wipe the inside of your TB. Do the fuel thing before you change your plugs, so your new ones will be in a cleaner chamber.
