Should I change the plug Before/After? I'm in Iraq right now, and I have most of my parts waiting for me right now... I'm sitting at 40K, and I'm going to put in new spark plugs... I was thinking I'd put them in, when I was putting the LT's on.. should be a really easy job with everything out of the way..
But I'm doing LTs, Intake and a new Cam as my big mods... I'm going to get the car Tuned after everything is done, but should I wait till after the tune to put in new plugs... Will they just Foul up after changing everything?
Thanks

If your current plugs are ok then tune with them and put the new ones in afterwards. If you are having firing problems you may have to go ahead and replace them or just the one with a missfiring problem.
FYI: LS1 Edit Tuned after LT install, and another tune after cam install. Changed plugs prior to the first tune - no problems whatsoever. The plugs installed very easily once the exhuast manifolds were out of the way. The LT install was a bear.
