plugs

as long as the plugs were working to begin with you'll have no problems. Kinda like changing one tire... You'd prefer a set of 4, but they'll get you where you need to be.

Lemme guess: You did the front 3 first? I hear the rears are a beeyatch.

Nah, it shouldn't be a problem (unless your other plugs are HEAVILY warn, pitted or coroded)... Just replace the rest of the plugs as soon as you get the chance.

It's just damn hard to do those rear ones when you got an SC.

I would think you would have to take off the intake manifold if you were not supercharged. That middle one on the back looks impossible.

Haven't done mine yet but I've looked at them. Looks like you can pretty easily get to 2 of them from the drivers side and the other 1 from passenger side. Doesn't look too hard to me.
