I have #109 installed by mclemore.
A couple of questions? What spark plugs do I use and what gap do I set them at?
How often do I change them?
I will start with the basic quesetions 1st. And then work up to better upgrades later.
What other basics can I do to make my car perform the best that it can?
It currantly has the 9.5lb pulley,rear sway bar, cai, Mobile 1 10w-30.
The chip that came with the Trilogy was done Lidio.
Later... header? Gears? What's next? Methonal Injection?
Any thoughts on any of these? Personally I would like to go with Methonal Injection, It is cheap and easy to do except that I will need a new chip burnt.
Hope to hear from y'all soon:D

The best bang for the buck on a Trilogy equipped MM is to do the 3.2" pulley and maybe a 4.10 at the same time. These two are a pretty noticeable upgrade for that car especially if you do them together. If you only want to do one depending on funds, go for the gear. Their are no drawbacks in doing the gear change other then potential traction problems. Otherwise its a big improvement from a dead stop or at rolling speeds too. There are plenty you can do to take a Trilogy MM to a higher level with more boost and exhaust with out worrying about hurting the stock short block when still using 93 octane. But usually beyond these couple of things I recommend a true custom tune to ensure A/F and timing isn't to aggressive.

Thanks
