Put my chromed FoMoCo 20s on today! They replaced the stock 20s that had some curb rash.
I agree, they look even better in chrome!  PVD?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Yes. PVD. I got them from Detroit Wheel and Tire. They came with sensors and Firestone Wide Oval tires all mounted, road force balanced and ready to go. It looks like the lug pockets and back side of the wheels are black chrome which is a nice touch to keep them from looking all grungy over time.

Firestones seem ok for now. Hard to tell after only driving 50 miles or so. Besides, I have to behave myself after buying the wheels!

Thanks for the compliments! :D

Nice!  I think Mark (mjhpadi) at one time was considering the Firestones for his next set of tires.  Interested in how they play out for you.

I installed Autolite Iridium XP5263 Plugs which are 1 step colder. Wow. The OEM plugs were gapped at .40-45, as soon as I gapped these bad boys up to .30 and dropped them in the car instantly got back some throttle response. Highly recommend them, plus they're cheap. I paid $30 through Advance Auto Parts using a coupon.

Is there a heat range chart we can refer to for the Autolites, Spartn?  TIA.  Seems like the PCM is not infinitely adjustable where spark plug gap is concerned after all.  Many people believe growth in this gap is a-ok and no cause for concern!

They're comparable to the NGK LTR7IX-11 (6510), one step colder than stock.

I bought my plugs and a plug socket and went at it randomly. All in all it took me maybe 1 hour start to finish and was really simple, the only bolts I removed were the 6 bolts (1 for each coil pack). Once you have the bolts of the coil pack removed just disconnect the electrical plug to them and pull straight out, unscrew plug, then replace.

Hardest part of all was figuring out how much man force to use when pulling out the coil packs trying not to damage them! Also make sure they're properly gapped and a little bit of anti-seeze doesn't hurt. Definitely felt the tune up with the butt dyno.
