Re: INSTALLED: Evo IX SpoolinUp COP & Denso IKH24 plugs

Awesome dude! I'm glad you like it, next time you're up here, perhaps a re-tune with a bit more boost is in order I'm glad someone else had a similar experience as me, not an insane improvement but just general driveability and overall smoothness gains. One guy claimed he saw like 40whp gains with this....there's no way, unless his stock ignition was fuct up. Will be curious to see if you see any mileage improvements.

I noticed the same differences you speak of when I put together my COP setup using Intrepid 2.7L coils.
There's two ways to look at a mod like this:
-it's not needed if the car isn't breaking up, its one more thing to break/go wrong
-its worth doing if it is proven to improve driveability and power (probably assuming a re-tune to actually see it)

Either way, .030 gap at any reasonable amount of boost(24+) is fantastic! As long as its reliable, its worth doing in my book!
