But warm up and cool down are critical, also I would definitely do the TBB and DV at the same time to avoid issue.
If they blow, it is a good time to go to KO4s they are a lot cheaper these days.
Also, just keep a few coil packs handy as they or a few will most likely go sortly after chipping unless you've replaced them already
Not wanting to thread hijack, but what's with the failing coilpacks after chipping? One of mine failed a couple of weeks ago and I think I feel another miss from time to time.

^^Its just a coincidence, they always fail once they get to about the 80k+ mark. Changing the spark plugs also messes them up because people pry up on them with a screwdriver.
