depends on your mods...wanna list them?
if the car is fairly stock i dont see it being a problem bc the stock fuel system/injectors should be able to supply enough fuel to the motor when spraying

being the motor is stock i wouldnt say colder plugs are needed but then again buy a set take them with you to the track an try both see the improvement or same...or what i prefer is to check an read the plugs after a pass but for the mods done to your car i dont think its needed right now if it makes a clean pass

if you want to play it safe, get the colder plugs. NGK TR6's, they wont affect N/A performance

Not very long at all. You have to take the coil packs off the pass side. Other then that, its easy.

I'd rather change the plugs than change the engine even if it is a pain. I'd go with the colder plugs just to be safe.

i feel your pain, but TRUST ME, with a 125 shot you want to run colder plugs. just take the coil packs off witht he bracket, and it leaves a lot more room.

Once you struggle a little the first time changing those plugs, the second time becomes way easier! The first time I changed mine it took 2-2.5 hours. Now I can do it in an hour and I don't worry about it at all. Look at it as a learning experience.
