I'm sure it's a simple wiring problem that you can easily take care of and once you get it fixed you'll be supprised how much LTs wake up the LS1.

A tune is the 'ideal' after a header install but not totally necessary in most cases I think.

**** happens, and sparks can get damaged or gap set off.
ngk tr55s (one the of best spark for ur ls1) are 1.89(times 8). its the cheapest insurance ever. also u can adjust ur gap. the plugs come at .050(instead of the .060), which some recommend for a bolt on setup (see www.ls1.com)
