    It is that time. I am looking for the best products to tune up my car (Baby on the way). From my understanding I need plugs, wires, a coolant flush, filters (Cabin, normal air filter). Am I missing anything? Any suggestions or write-ups I should be looking at?

    If your car is stock, find the best deals on stock parts and put them back in (you know...AC Delco all of the things.)

    Plugs
    Wires
    Air filter
    Fuel filter
    PCV valve
    Coolant flush

    That should basically cover you.

    There seems to be a million listings for plugs. What are the correct/best plugs to put in?

    Do you have a cooler if shift kit or done any maintenence? In case you didn't know you need to bare minimum at least change the fluid yearly if you want it to last

    I do not have a cooler or a shift kit. I was told every 30k for fluid and filter change. What is the best suggestion. The Trans was replaced 10k ago.
