Update: will be buying new spark plugs tomorrow and air filter , pulled 3/6 today had only a little day light and attended to a family event: here is a picture of the 3 plugs

- should i go ahead and put air filter on hold and invest in a cold air intake? suggestions?

if you already have the air filter, you might as well put it on, it can't hurt

oh ok, from the sounds of it, it was like you already had the air filter.

I'll be honest, I never even looked up what a cold air intake cost, what do they run for your car?

**edit**

we did this on a couple local cars and it picked a LOT of power up, its really surprising, might be worth looking into

That's for 98-02 cars with lid-style intakes. Won't do him much good.

just get a stock air filter replacement. the gains from a cai in a 3.4 is not worth it. fix er up and enjoy it. when you want more power trade it in or sell it and get a lt or ls f body
