As you see, opinions tend to vary, but I just ordered my NGK plugs and planning to replace them in the near future. I really like the idea of the car becoming faster with new plugs too

Did you get these items replaced already, I am interested in what your indy mechanic charged for it as I am thinking of replacing the following also

11517527910 water pump with gasket $91.50
11537509227 thermostat with housing $68.00
17137542986 overflow tank (expansion tank) $63.00

and my spark plugs.
