Default Hey guys decisions decisions

hey going to ttp today i want a little something. My car is tuned already but does not have a 160 t-stat should i get that. some wires (spark plug) or wait 4 that and call Bo for my throttle body and send it out today. I put wires as choice cause for some reason when i get on the car #5 cyl. gets knocked loose causing a misfire. I have to stop so i could snap it back on.

Does that #5 wire come loose frequently or one time deal? I would hold off on the thermostat. Maybe a 180*, but not a 160*. (esp since you live in jersey) If your wire isn't holding then get it replaced. You can go ahead and get all new wires or just get a single factory replacement and you should be fine.
