O yea it pulls nice now power I never knew!
I just finished gutting my airbox out and cutting the front part of the box out (the part with the small hole smaller than the TB) and I replaced all my spark plugs becasue they were bosch plantiums that were in there that were all (I mean like 4-6 of them) grounding out on the engine u could see bright spark comming from inside each spark plug when it was dark out I replaced them with autolites and wow that car pulls so much harder than I ever thought it could do never felt that power since I bought the car at 132k now 136k ish and the sound from the gutted airbox sounds spectacular u can hear that over anything..... that puts me in a good mood now if i just had some gas money to drive some more lol... There is also no more backfire in the exaust when dry reving it..... The tires acually squeal nice from a dead stop now. I used a jigsaw to cut the front part of the air box out I was using a hacksaw but it was taking to long and I cut my finger open with it lol.

Bosch Plats? 
No WONDER it made a diff. 
Those are about the worst plugs you can put in a 3800. What you've done is restored some lost power. Enjoy it. And do the PCV, fuel filter, wires, and clean your TB before you start modding.

I am changing my plugs (along with other items) but am going with NGK plugs.
