I've been eyeing these for a while. Any chances of getting a dyno before and after?

Well Troyer just called me to tell me that the JBA wires weren't in stock, but that they had Taylor wires instead. So we'll see how those work, keep ya guys posted since I know everyones a little adament about dropping 115.00 on plugs and wires!

Just don't put Bosch plugs in it, most 4.2s will run very rough with them, even gapped properly. There are a few exceptions but like I said most 4.2s don't like the Bosch plugs. I tried a set and the truck ran better with the old plugs, so swapped em out for Autolite Dbl Plats. runs smooth.

Ya putting Bosch plugs in our trucks is a cardinal sin.

By putting racing decals on your windows you will see more power increase then the fancy plugs and wires you just spent money on!

The Troyer kit is cheaper than OEM wires and plugs - and iridiums are better than OEM platinums.

So,what you're saying is,the racing decals are a waste of good window space?
