Responsiveness is better.I think these cars benefit from good plugs. And for $40 you cant beat it.

Oh yeah, used both anti-sieze & di-electric grease. I also cleaned the grounding contacts for the coils while I was in there
stupid question, when you said you clean the grounding contacts on the coils...did you just wipe it off with a towel or something else?
