Fucking lame, 6-cylinder plug wires cost LESS then 4-cylinder wires.
/end rant.
So I guess you are saying in actuallity they cost the same?
M20 = 6 cylinder
m42 = 4 cylinder.
Sorry guys could have gone on for a week, I had to end it!Yours truly,

Go to the site and look how much plug wires cost for the M42 cost:

Now lets see how much they'd cost for the 6-cylinder cars in the same 8mm size:

$50 for the 8mm wires. Call me crazy but I figured 6 plug wires would cost more then 4, not $30 less. I may be missing something really big, but hopefully that clears up what I meant by my first post? 6 wires costing $50 and 4 costing $80 is some bull.

I have a Budget Heeter mod to add:
6 new Bosch Super spark plugs: $8.64
1 new valve cover gasket: $7.68
1 tube Anti-Sieze compound: $4.79
Feeler gauges: Already had them
Mod total: - $21.11
Performed a valve adjustment and installed new spark plugs. Car runs better, idles better, pulls hard as fuck up to speed, and is noticeably faster. I'll bet I gained back a good 5-10 horsepower I'd lost by having out-of-adjustment valves and way-overdue and fouled spark plugs. I just wish I could have gained that extra 1-2 hp by installing a silicone elbow on my throttle body, and eliminating all that bad flow from the ribbing of the stock boot.
The moral of the story? Standard preventative maintainence will always prevail over shit $50 ebay bolt-ons. In fact, I'm willing to bet with just my Jim Conforti chip, and having nice new spark plugs and freshly adjusted valves, I could walk Budget Beatoff's car with no problems. But that's my e-cock talking.
