You don't need to change injectors or plugs yet unless you are having problems. At this point, just keep up with oil changes and that is about it.

Thanks for the link BTW. I'm chasing down a random misfire and maybe those will help.

Your injectors are good.

You cant use the product you posted link for(its 2000-2006 only)

ACDelco and NGK are good plugs.

Noone offers a direct replacement higher performance coil. You also dont need coils unless your making say more than about 18psi boost, or running past 8000rpm regulary. Stock is good for LOTS of power


Spark plugs. I disagree with everyone here. Plugs are cheap and super easy to change. Go for it. Buy some stock ACDelco or NGK plugs and swap them. Just because they are designed to last "up to 100k miles" doesnt mean they dont degrade over time, or that changing them at 25k miles is bad.

07-newer dont have fuel filters.

I recommend every 25k miles or two years. But there actually isnt a recommended interval, its only supposed to be replace it it gets clogged, you get contaminted fuel or it getsw damaged. If you look in your owners manual you probably wont even find ANY info on it.

Because I can't believe some of the questions that get asked here sometimes. I was expecting you to have 75,000 to 125,000 miles... not 25,000.

I guess everyone has to learn at some point or another... some of this **** just seems like common sense to me though. Although, I did learn a thing or two from Maven just now.
