Thats called assy line messing with ya. Had buddies that worked GM Van Nuys plant in the 70's and it was funny as hell some of the things they would do or put in the cars while being put together. I found marbles in the rear end of my SD-455 Pontiac ands a razor blade in the oil pan.

dude i have kno idea ......... everyone used to ride in my care and be like why does it bogg down sometime (thought it was me burning out a little) but every since i put the muffler on i could hear like a whining out noise like i had pass the rev limit after like 5800 rpms (like a slight popping noise in the exhaust) so thats why i changed the pluggs
anyway car was still fast i ran 13.89@103 1/4 mile with the car like this (not telling how that happened) but normal 1/4 at 14.3 @ 100.61 mph

i can take pictures of the pluggs that came out another day they were all very burnt lookin ............ btw my car feels like shes running waaay faster than that of before

You definately don't want to run platinum 4's in the SS/SC... too hot of a spark... will cause detonation.
