I'm probably going to pick up a set soonish for when I really start to wind the timing up. Snap on do a set-$200 or so. It may seem extreem, but that is how the factory knock sensors are tuned up. The other ways of course are by ear and reading the plugs-but if you have spent up big on the powerplant-another 200 isn't a big stretch for peace of mind. (especially in a blown motor with stock pistons when detonation can wipe out your engine almost instantly at high boost levels.....) Sean thanks mate, thats what I was looking for [Report message to a moderator]
