thanks for all the quick responses guys.
ran into a problem.. has anyone had a problem takin off one of the plug boots? i was pulling on the spark plug wire and the "stem" portion stayed in the head while the square piece popped off. i cant get the "stem" out of the head. any suggestions? i did buy some spark plug boot pullers but havent had a chance to use them yet. anyone run into this problem?
Also does everyone use the anti seize stuff and dielectric stuff when chaning their plugs? thanks again!

In my observations of back-to-back, TM felt better seat of the pants and on dyno than the Denso Irridiums.

anyway, personally i didn't feel much about the new plugs. granted my old plugs they were a bit old already, any new plugs would make the car feel better

and replacing them is easy, just like stock ones. i had my lexus tech did the install in 1/2 hr and it's nothing, since the plugs are pre gapped already
