Question Afterthoughts on my 1998 S70 NA tuneup

Just wanted to drop a quick note...

I recently tuned up my car, got a kit from FCP...

I took some pics of the old parts —*now I know why I have such an increase in response and handling. Looks like arcing, and scorch marks on the cap, rotor and plugs...already an increase on mileage

I did all the wires too but no pics of that. Next up fuel filter - will post any additional increase in mpg as well.

Anyone have any experience with fuel system flushes ? Any recommendations ?

BK44 was suggested.

Thanks and let me know.

Some of the pictures were bad but you're right. I'm surprised it was running smooth. Not sure if that can happen in a week or over 6 to 12 months.

Some people do seafoam. I put lucas fuel additive in my tank every 10k.
