you NEED to get kicked in the balls!

Cam vs Rockers...no offense here, but if your not mechanically inclined (I am guessing due to this thread and your comments on how hard it was to change the plugs) I would not even think of doing a Cam...rockers you might be able to do...but it will be a long PIA process...if you do go with rockers, research, research, research, ask lots of questions, research, research, ask more questions...repeat above process till you cant possibly think of anymore questions or possible snags you might run into, then proceed slowly, and post your questions as you do it. Plan on it taking a weekend to do and if you can get help from another member or a mechanic friend...DO IT. I only say all this not to harp at you, but rather as a warning...Rocker and Cam installs are NOT places you want to make ANY mistakes. Leaving one bolt or nut not torqued down, or one thing not put back as it should can cause severe engine damage and I would hate to see anyone not 100% confident/comfortable with doing the job get it all done thinking they did a bang up job and screw their motor.

Again, NOT trying to belittle you or your mechanicals skills...just a word of caution.

Oh and your fine with the plugs in there, it won't hurt the car at all to have them in on a stock motor...little cold of a heat range maybe and gas mileage may suffer a bit (but not compared to the state your old ones were in), but it will be fine till the headers/3.4 pully go on.

That is why, if I am buying parts not specific to my car, I don't tell them what I want it for. I just know what I want and ask for it specifically. I want 6 autolite 104 plugs. End of story. If they ask for a specific application, I just say it is a custom application, which it is. Just know what you want, ask specifically for it, and be sure about it and they won't bother you. If you are at all hesitant or act like you don't know what you want, they will try to talk you out of it. In their defense, they do get a lot of douche bags in there doing stupid stuff, so they are trained to ask those questions.

But typically for me, I am in the stores so much anyway, I know most of the guys. They know what cars I have. I know what they have and work on. So they don't ask when I buy parts. It helps to establish a good relationship with your parts guys...

not really trained to ask those qusetions. for the most part people like me are doing their best to help a customer, 99% of them just want/need stock replacements. And like you said "custom app" then I figure you have half a brain to know what you need/want then I would just give you what you want if I can, with a little prying because I am noisy and dont want you to destroy your car.
That is just the way I am thought I have changed tires, alt, starters and even helped put a side window in a car in the parking lot at my store. I want people to get their money worth in every sence of the maner and try to help them with it.
but yea we do get a ton of douch bags that have NO business even looking a tools.
