Tune up thoughts...
I am looking for suggestions on tuning up my 1984 944. I did all the belts, dist, rotor, wires. It has only 54k on it, so it's still running like a champ. Beautiful car. I'm just looking for some hints, maybe better spark plugs, better ignition, something to pep it up???
Thanks...
Jim

Get your fuel injectors cleaned and flow matched. It will make a world of difference. Also, don't forget to change your air and fuel filters. Use regular copper spark plugs (ie; don't use platinum plugs on these cars) in the correct heat range (W8DC Bosch if memory serves me correctly).
Beyond that you start getting into performance mods like MSD ignition (not much $$) or standalone engine management (lots and lots of $$).

Everywhere I have looked, the original-spec plugs were silver - Bosch Silber WR8DS . . 
Is silver not a better conductor than copper, too? Any physicists here?

The owner's manual states to use WR7DC (copper). The workshop manual I have says to use WR8DS (silver). I am running the coppers and they work great. Haven't tried the silvers yet.
