Spark Plugs

Anyone swapped out their factory plugs?

You don't need to change plugs till at least 75,000 miles on the LT1.

Probably wouldn't be worth it unless you're FI.

Not worth it at all under any condition unless your tuner specifies the change. But most times they will tell you to go to a step colder plug if at all.

Normal platinum tip plugs are just fine.

I'm curious. I'm thinking about doing a Procharger install on my own and it recommends going one step colder. Wondering how painful it is to get to the plugs.

If you didn't know how to get to the plugs, I would humbly suggest you have no business installing a SC.

Take it to a shop. Save your motor.

Don't assume all questions are due to lack of mechanical skill. You know what they say about assuming. Have you taken yours out of this car yet? Oh that's right, you don't have one yet.

I know how to remove spark plugs. I was asking if anyone tried it on this car. If it was going to be a pain in the ass I just wanted to know.
