well, after I get my car modded (Edelbrock upper and lower Performer, BBK pulley's, 70 mm TB, Flow tech headers, off road H pipe, and Home maid CAI) this weekend, im gonna need it tuned, but should I go with some performence spark plugs, are performance spark plugs worth it? is there even such a thing as performance spark plugs?

2) what should I set my timing to?

3) will I be able to beat LT1's?

MODS: 3.55 gears

If you have stock heads and no power adder, use stock Autolite plugs. You wont see any improvement with platinums or iridiums or the ones with 2 or even 4 electrodes. Stock, $0.89 a piece Autolites.

I went to wally mart to get me some autolites and they have 2 models for the 5.0. One was for the 5.0(d) and one for 5.0(t). Which should I get for my 95 5.0 gt vert? Also they had the recommended gap of .045 (d) or .055(t), is this correct?

I dont know what you mean with 5.0(t), 5.0(d), etc. The stockers for your car are most likely Autolite 25 plugs. One heat range colder would be 24.

is their a certain ammoung of pressure, to tighten them.

I've never, ever put on any sort of spark plugs, on any car. But I gotta learn how to do it someday.

Yeah the stock gap should be between .052-.055.
