Shimming it out and a colder plug will give you better performance and longer plug life.
hiya GHETTOTEACHER, royfan33 and THE DOCTOR

i hope they dunt contain silicon.

as for plugs and shims, i'll go look into putting some more shims in and using a colder plug. thanks! i'll check back when i've tried it out!
