1st tune-up!
My Bonnie is getting her first tune-up today since rolling out of the factory(besides an air filter last year)...i can't wait to see what kind of difference it makes
anyone think there will be a huge gain in performance?...i'm already guessing the gas mileage will be be alot better: )
not sure exactly what all they are gonna do..but i'm guessing plugs,wires and coil packs.

trans fluid will make a difference definitely, new air filter, proper air in the tires, new oil, add a can of six cylinder formula stuff called "RESTORE - 6 CYLINDER" (it'* like $5-$8 at like a wal mart), and that should help some.
maybe some octane booster, too?

Don't change the coil packs. There is no need unless they are clearly broken and if they are..your car will run horribly.

Check your vacuum lines too. I did all those and noticed a little difference, replaced the tensioner and 2 bad pulleys, noticed a little more difference, dropped the tranny pan and got a little better performance. But 40 cents worth of vacuum hose doubled any improvements I saw anywhere else.
