Stage 1 Upgrade

Spark Plugs – Autolite® 605 spark plugs (one heat range colder than stock) We recommend reducing the spark plug gap to .055″
Plug Wires – ACDelco 9746BB Professional Spark Plug Wire Set
Air Filter – K&N Drop in Air Filter. Use the factory Air box which already introduces fresh air from outside the engine bay. Choose the proper one for your vehicle make, model and year.
Belts – We recommend Gates or Goodyear Gaterback Belts which can be purchased from Napa or other local retailers.
Engine Oil – Synthetic oil, Mobile One is preferred as an entry level upgrade as it is an exceptionally clean oil with minimum buildup. AmsOil Signature and Royal Purple are top recommendations.
Oil Filter – The factory oil filter is a bit small; you can use the ACDelco PF52 as an OEM upgrade or the WIX 51036 or the Napa gold, which is the same exact filter made by WIX, NAPA 1036
