    No. 606 is stock heat range. He should probably be dropping heat ranges (might be 605, might be 104, depending on his S/C pulley) because of his modifications.

    what pullay?

    If you're sticking with the 3.8 then 104's are fine.

    3.4-3.6 area you might want to consider tr6's.

    possibly 103's if you're going to push 3.4 or smaller.

    Note I say consider.

    I've run both TR6's and 104's with my stock pulley and the plugs ARE too cold for the boost level. But I'd rather not try 605's, instead i'm going for more boost.

    Youre also stock for the most part. Copper plugs FTW. It takes me under 10 min to change my plugs....

    1) You are absolutely right, for "almost" a stock setup like mine copper plugs are the best...

    2) Since I live in Canada and I don't have access to a garage, I preferred using Iridium since they will last way longer

    3) How did you do it under 10 mins? I bought my car used and I changed them when the car reached about 40K...They were completely jammed inside the metal retainers and the wires broke in my hands...It took me around 2 hours just to do the three in the back...any tips or tricks for my next spark plug change?

    Thanks

    1) an intake and a tune does not qualify for modded.

    By modded we mean smaller than stock pulley with the things that come with that.

    Weird because in your signature you promote a thread, and in this thread a CAI is mod 2 and and reprogrammed PCM is mod 7

    IMO, any upgrade over bone stock is considered a mod, whatever gain they provide...
