Default Wow!

so i finally changed my sparkplugs today. its on a 02 4.7 with 113000 miles the old plugs i pulled i decided to check the gap and they were at .067-.070 when they are supposed to be .040. surprisingly the truck was running pretty decent. but wow new plugs and a k&n filter and i can definately tell a big difference.

Funny how those little things effect performance. You will probably see an extra mpg too!
