Feels good
i finally figure out what was wrong with my car it was the Bosch platinum spark plugs that i had. Were suppose to use copper plugs anyways i replaced that and the wires and know it doesn't stutter anymore and the tach doesn't jump so all is good

i've had nothing but problems out of bosch platinums. i bought them when i first got my car, put them in, and my idle was very erratic. (and yes, they were gapped properly). i changed them out with NGK's and everything was fine. when i got my B18A1, i didnt bother with changing the plugs since the guy told me that they were good, so i got it all together and started it and i had the same problem, rough idle and hesitation. so i replaced them with NGK's and all was well again.
honda motors recommend NGK's. Put NGK's in them.

dunno if this matters... but like a VAST majority of OEMs use NGKs, and i believe the OEM 4g plugs are NGK... i dont' know WHY the brand makes a difference, but just something i have noticed on a majority of cars...

I swaped out my +4s when i needed new wires and went with NGK irduim (sp) couldn't feel anything. I felt better throttle responce with the +4s then with the champions i pulled out back in the day.
