You really need to plan out your modding strategy. If you just start throwing parts on your car chances are you're going to be in for some real headaches. Knock is very detrimental to these engines. You need a scanning tool to find where your engine is at the moment before modding. Then check afterwards, you may need additional modding in order to keep your motor from blowing up, even from just a small change in pulley size. There are many people that have gone down this road. Learn from their mistakes and do it the right way from the begining.

spark plugs need changing- ignition wires could be changed- put octane boost into your gas, or fuel injection cleaner.
distributer cap, low octane gas, or spark plugs i would do the distributer cap first.
Stock NGK plugs are the best plugs. As you raise the boost of the TT model, you can opt for the colder grade plugs but still stick with NGK.
their really is not a specific fuel octane mix. if you just run premium in it, it will be fine, but if you do put octane in, just put a little bit in it. because it could make your fuel too rich and foul out your spark plugs.
you need to get a wrench and turn the bolt (relieve the pressure on the pulley) on the tensioner pulley and remove the belt then turn bolt (relieve the pressure on the pulley) to reinstall it. The tensioner pulley is the one that is not your A/C pulley not your alternator pulley and not your crankshaft pulley its the only one that's left no hoses or plugs going to it. not sure how to explain it.
Seems to me that you are trying to much octane for your plugs therefore your jusst fowling out them which will make hesitation and misfiring. Have learned that by doing the same thing. Try running 87 octane a while just might clean itself out.
30ish, depending on octane levels and type of plugs.
BR8-ES or a colder plug is BR-9ES
probably around 260 to 270 horsepower, depending on the pulley size. The msd wires would not do anything for horsepower and the cold air would give around 10 hrspwer. the pulley would give around 15 to 25 horsepower.
You'd crank the car, the spark plugs would fire, and then... nothing. Many people think jet fuel is comparable to a high octane gasoline. This is not true - it's comparable to #1 diesel fuel, so it would essentially be more the same as putting diesel fuel or kerosene into your car. The spark plugs would not ignite it.
use low octane, regular gas, 2 liter-4 cyl gas engine.....if you want to improve gas milage and horsepower buy a set of pulstar spark plugs....www.pulstar.com...
Change the fuel filter, and put in new plugs and wires. Gap plugs to .054".
