| Hey guys, just picked up a 98 riviera and did basic maintenance so far. Plugs, wires, fuel filter, tranny fluid. I'm looking to add some decent horsepower, as I know these engines are highly customizable. Will my car run safely with these mods?

| Hello Daniel, While I just love Larry's reply, and I haven't messed with things for a while, I can tell you that everything in my signature has been happy for 5+ years... Having said that, I don't know about tunes from "the other people" 80) Also, my own preference is to just remove the restrictions in our own air boxes rather than go aftermarket. IFIRP, some folks have been drowned by aftermarket intake systems. Oh, and I cannot understand anyone devolving to copper plugs for a daily driver... I just wish the bastards hadn't discontinued the double-tip-platinums that our cars came from the factory with. | |

As for the plugs, mind the heat range and for a daily driver I've been happy with the factory plugs however I think the Champion 9404 Iridiums I currently use are better. Surprisingly they were made in England. Albertj | |
