half-ass tune-up

half-*** tune-up
a couple of days ago, i had my spark plugs changed, (near 100k miles) I switched to AC Delco's platinum performance plugs. som'n like that. i've had em like 6 months without actually puttin em in there. well immediately after i put em in, i noticed a good increase in power....I can peel out from stand still with no problem, which makes me confident in the idea of puttin 22's on my truck in Jan. on the highway, i can do 95 without my blazer breakin a sweat. i'm a race car driver at heart so i love this new feel, i've peeled out farther in m blazer than i did in my monte carlo ss. loving that. wait til i get rimmed up, i'll have better stability, i'm racing anybody then! what woulda happened if i would have changed wires too? that half-*** tune up worked great though. gettin al oil change this weekend, better, oh yes!

What do you mean oem, they are aftermarket arnt they? Its not like they come installed from the factory. Do you guys know the specific model plug I would need for my 2000 chevy blazer because I want to see if I can get them off ebay or somthing. Does one plug fit all, as in will the plug you are using work for me?

The original equipment plug is an AC Delco Double Platinum. For your 2000, *runs out to garage to check my old plugs*, you need AC Delco 41-932 plugs. Check your emissions label for the proper gap, but they should come pre-gap'd.

AC - Delco Spark Plug: Professional Platinum (04-96 CAD/CHV/GMC TK)
Part No: 41-932
1 year limited warranty
$5.99 each @ www.orielyauto.com
$10.99 @ www.partsamerica.com (but they will price match Oriely Auto and lower by 5% ontop of matching)
Just takes alittle searching parts stores to find them. I did not check Napa or any other place due to these are the two I deal with 99% of the time.

I replace my plugs as preventative maintenance, not strictly when I have a problem. If you do good preventative maintenance on a schedule, you can head off problems before they reek havoc on other things.
The OE plugs are great in these engines. Now my Bonneville uses NGK Double platinums from the factory, but because it being supercharged, I run NGK V-Power copper plugs which it just likes better. So what if I have to replace them every year or so, but at $1.25/plug, who cares.

Just from experience....dont go saying you will race anybody, you will either pay up whnen you lose, get your car taken or get your butt kicked a bit.
Keep it at the track, and when you spin those tires when you floor it, you arent doing anything fast, the trick is to not spin when you floor it.
