Good work

Save the effort on the plug re-gap until you need new plugs, aka 50,000 miles or so. 2 extra pounds of boost really doesn't weren't a re-gapping my friend.

See yeah

PS: I road race mine, and left the plugs alone. Even on a 90 degree day, guess what NO PROBLEM

Very nice upgrades! I have the Code3 S/C pulley & intake combo too along with some ph spacers (LET spacers) and I love it, it made a HUGE difference compared to how it felt stock...I would suggest getting a larger heat exchanger to help with the heat soak that you will get with those mods, it makes a big difference(and looks really cool). I also have a tune from LET ("Jerry-tune"), that made the biggest difference. It allows the mods you have from Code3 to perform at its fullest potential, which is a lot more than with a stock ECU-tune. Keep us updated on how it runs and how if feels once you have a chance to really get on it!

when removing the spark plugs, make sure you remove the coil packs too or else its really tight.

While you do that.. inspect the coil packs for any signs of bad contacts.

I had 2 that were dull and tried my best to clean them.. and get some of the copper shine back.

if you think the sound is too aggressive.. ask Brandon for a 2nd filter, i'm sure it won't be too much or just add heavy duty electrical tape to cover some of the outer area of the filter grill.

check your belt almost everyday for the first week.. just to ensure everything is okay.
