me and my buddy usally do my plugs , but hes not around so i have to go out and get the tools, what deep socket do i need, and what extentions do i need, i cant remember what plug is a pain in the butt. im going to try the stock champ plugs with the londer nose that talon is using RC12lc4 , currently i have NGK iridiums and im getting some kinda click noise from the motor so i think its the plugs.
its not the tuner because i will set it back to stock with the death flash and it will still do it. just need to know what tools i need thanks

A pair of channel locks and needle nose pliers will come in handy if you can't get one of the plug wires to come loose. You can use them to wiggle the heat shield over the spark plug boot (it'll slide over the boot no problem) so you'll be able to get a good grip on it.
The boots come off easier if you give them a twist then a pull.
If your rear pipes on the headers have the big curve in them (#7 and #8) then you should get a wobble head socket extension. That is designed to allow the socket to swivel but just a little bit instead of at 90º like a swivel extension. I broke the porcelain on my #7 spark plug one time because the extension was pressing on the header and I didn't use the wobble head so the socket was pressing on the side of the plug instead of going straight onto it.
Inspect the plug wires for about the first 3" from the boot to see if they're melted or cracked.
Check the gap on the plugs when you pull them, the gap might have opened up a little bit and that could be the cause of your issues.
You need to get the video proof that your truck sounds better than mine first.
