No need to change the spark plugs unless you're going with FI or running race gas daily.

Plugs should be good to go, however, you really need to change tuners....

Ultimately mate it's up to you, your car your choice. From my understanding most of the controversy surrounding admintuning is he likes to disable or reduce the sensitivity of the knock sensors to run more aggressive timing for a couple extra hp, which from my understanding there's a way to prove that he in fact does. I'm sure it's fine in 95% of cases and people are happy with the result, but honestly no two cars are exactly the same, you may be one of the unlucky 5% that ends up with a blown engine as a result, you just don't know. All it would take is a bad batch of gas that the ecu would've otherwise normally compensated for.

I can't definitively say if he's a good or a bad tuner, you are free to make your own informed choice. All I know is personally that alone is enough for me to stay away.

1) Copy Pasta tunes
2) Disabling knock sensor
3) Turning down the knock sensor so it doesn't detect rod knock
4) Blown motors

He's been called out on multiple locations, but 'you did your research', so have fun. I hope you have a spare 15K to rebuild your motor. Good luck.
