thanks me too!


UPDATE:

This morning the car was running like a champ it would pull flawlessly all the way to 5K RPMs and i went home and picked up my brother to take him to the dentist i got there, shut it off and went inside. Afterwards I cam back out to leave got in the car and it had a reallllyy hard time trying to idle i finally got it to idle after it died twice. On the way home i was getting a lil KR no more than 3.5*(stock tune). I was exiting and was going around 43mph give or take and i gave it WOT while it was bogging down and it ******* POPPED again! Ive done everything. Plugs.Plug Wires. O2 Sensors.MAF sensor.TPS sensor.IAT sensor......and it ******* popped again. This has been my worst day of the summer. Please help me, im desperate....

If it's untuned, you're going to **** yourself after it is. Just make sure you CALL before you go to G-Force, even if you have an appointment.

I would never buy any other sparks plugs i believe NGKS are the best plugs out there. And I would never get a mail order tune because first of all I cant speak to the guy thats tunning my PCM and telll him what i want done except for stating cam specs, and plus they are a waste of money.
