Dyno tune question? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I have TSP headers I'm looking to get installed as well as getting a dyno tune, however the shop I'm going to told me they highly recommend I get new spark plugs and thermostat to get the most out of the tune. Just wonder what you guys thought about this as I've never heard that before.

I didn't change either of them. Went to a colder plug when I did cam/heads. Still have factory thermo

I did the thermostat when I got my headers done. Not a must but I would go ahead and do it. Cheap mod.

Correct, gapped fresh plugs should always be done before a tune IMO. Great suggestion.

Thermostat, nope.

I did plugs and wires only because I was there.
