spark plug gap etc
Has anyone replaced the stock plugs yet? Curious how difficult it is, I used to have a Ford and it was a nightmare on that. If you have changed them, whats the gap? I am also curious what plugs you guys have used/aftermarket?

I have talked with a couple tuners, Mellon for instance requests that all the spark plugs be changed out before switching the tune. This is using the logging method with Access tuner software and sending info to him so he can tune the AP. Does he request this just to make sure, without a doubt, that the car is firing properly for the new tune, or is it a safe play to change them whenever getting a more aggressive tune?

So, that being said, how hard is changing out the plugs on our cars? I do most of my own work and as long as they arent going to break off like they did in the Fords I owned, I should be fine.

I just ordered a set of X plugs to replace my stock ones. I've checked the plugs a couple of times and it wasn't difficult pulling the plugs and putting them back in..... and I know next to nothing about working on cars.
I'm also assuming that since the X plugs are OEM plugs that I shouldn't have to gap them.
