Do you honestly need the exact same plugs just because of your tune? Maybe ask whoever tuned it for another option.

I figured those would be the best option, But I have sent a pm to the tuner to see his advice.

Yea that is probably your best bet so far. I understand it ran well and those plugs were the ones you had from your tune but honestly that never really crossed my mind. If mine were on back order i'd get something and adjust the gap if need be. GL though.

Lol. That might be a good reason why hes not getting this. Here we have temps as low as -25 with windshield for the past couple days.

Sooo, it's too late for the OP, but if you REALLY want to do an engine wash, get three plastic bags. Cover the valve cover, the MAF and put one over your alternator. Use a regular hose, not a high pressure one. Concentrate on the visible areas and use as little water as possible.

Good luck guys!
