Increases the service life of the plug. That's about it.

Even thought the stock plug gap is .060, the NGK's should be gapped to .055

"Can you use those oil filters a 95 LT1?"

i don't think so, but not sure. seems like the filters are different. but i don't remember the LT1 filter being as tiny as the LS1 piece....that's why i like using the bigger one

I used the MOBIL M1-206 and kept the .50 gap on the ngk's with no problems.

the oil filter is about 1/2 inch taller than the stock one so just put in a little extra oil when you change it.
