The Ir plugs are great, but not sure they really offer a solution to your present condition.

Don't want to sound harsh. I just was hoping to be clear on what is the 1st priority to fix. Can't wait to see more of your car! </div></div>

Was wanting to pull motor to freshen up and fix oil leak. While we are at why not try and improve what I have if possible. Like fixing my oil seepage issue on to the plugs which may not be too bad. These were my thought...... Or maybe like Sam said I should be ok the way it is.
The whole plug thing was me just trying to fine tune. When this thing heats up and when it's 100 degrees out the car is a total dog. Much more of a dog in the heat than my 454 Chevelle. The engine does not over heat it's like I am missing 50+HP in the heat. Runs really strong when it's not so hot out. I know most cars do, but have not ever owned one like this that is effected so much by the heat of the summer. Could be jetting. But was looking for a quick fix to get me through the summer so that is why I called NGK.
Hope this makes sense. To be honest I don't really know what to do. Just tired of oil leaks and and want this thing right. Have only owned it for a year and have been trying to get the bugs out since I have had it. Anyone live in the DFW area? Would love someone to take a peek at this thing that really knows motors.
