My car is a 991.2 with a 93 tune from Sam. I'm super happy with this set up and it's been such a great car to drive.
My last plug change was at 11K and now i've got 34K. I thought I was well within specs of the 30K change, it didn't miss, ran well, etc.
Brought my car to World Motorsports and they changed the plugs and coils. The old plugs did not look bad, I thought I did this too early, but.....
WOW. what a difference. On WOT it was amazing. Brought smiles and giggles like a little kid again.
Asked Sam about this and learned that slight tunes like mine should do a plug change at 15K, highly modded cars at 10K.
Wanted to post this because I didn't see this anywhere. Thanks Sam and Craig at World. Great work.

Even if the tune is clean stoichiometrically speaking, physical/thermal stress tends to warrant early replacement as tuned or built cars tend to run plugs rated and gapped specific to the ignition requirements of the setup to handle the patterns of AF diffusion, thermal irregularities of the chamber, pressures, etc etc optimally. Even if they don't foul, the gap tends to drift, materials start to behave differently after exposure to heat and cooling cycles, and the effect on rate, temp, and duration of arc starts to show through. Normal cars don't care much about this sort of thing - plenum pull at worst; boxer spark jobs just suck a lot more.

Which is crazy and if that was required I would just sell the car. Doing coils yearly is NOT normal.
Did the plugs at 30k, now at ~48k and will do plugs/coils at 60k. Car runs amazing and it is silly to just replace coils for fun. If you have extra money to waste, send it to me. I'll go buy some whiskey or something.
