4 thousand miles ago it got
Double Platinum Autolite Pulgs
Premium Napa Wires
Hot Air Intake (Going back to stock)
New Radiator Coolant (Flushed)
2 or 3 cans of seafoam Before the new plugs and wires
for my tires i dont know what would be a good pressure so i dont lose mpg

Maybe i need to do a accurite reading because my speedo is off because of the bigger tires......@ 55 on the gauge iam really going 61..then like yall said that is city driving also so maybe thats a factor.......maybe i need to do more accurite readings first
