No need to change the spark plugs unless you're going with FI or running race gas daily.

Plugs should be good to go, however, you really need to change tuners....

Just had the same conversation with a fool on reddit. Told me he "did his research" but doesn't like forums so he ignored this site. And I'm the one who doesn't know what he's talking about

Plugs before a tune, new plugs was standard practice back in the day when plugs were more affordable.
Being that the VHR requires the removal of both TBs and some expensive plugs comparing what's out there I suggest you at least pull cyl 1 and 2 to visually check prior to.

This way you can compare after the tune to see your marks on the ground strap and pay attention to the porcelain. You should see a white porcelain once tuned after a couple of passes.

If you really care about this engine change the oil prior to, save a sample, get it analyzed then after your tune save some of that oil and get it analyzed.
Should point out how much it'll be wearing and should give some pointers as to how much closer your intervals should be.

Good Luck and may the force be with you

Ultimately mate it's up to you, your car your choice. From my understanding most of the controversy surrounding admintuning is he likes to disable or reduce the sensitivity of the knock sensors to run more aggressive timing for a couple extra hp, which from my understanding there's a way to prove that he in fact does. I'm sure it's fine in 95% of cases and people are happy with the result, but honestly no two cars are exactly the same, you may be one of the unlucky 5% that ends up with a blown engine as a result, you just don't know. All it would take is a bad batch of gas that the ecu would've otherwise normally compensated for.

I can't definitively say if he's a good or a bad tuner, you are free to make your own informed choice. All I know is personally that alone is enough for me to stay away.

1) Copy Pasta tunes
2) Disabling knock sensor
3) Turning down the knock sensor so it doesn't detect rod knock
4) Blown motors

He's been called out on multiple locations, but 'you did your research', so have fun. I hope you have a spare 15K to rebuild your motor. Good luck.
