I put grease on the ends of the boot holes, and gave the still-installed plugs a little bit of the old in-out, in-out action before snapping them in place. I later pulled them all off to go back to stock and found them quite snug. With no lube I think they would be difficult to remove.
Driving impressions is that unless it is something else the throttle response and off boost mid-range seems peppier. It almost has the feeling of messing with your throttle mapping to make it more responsive.
I did a log and spanked a Mustang and some other car from a roll, no misfires. Once I figure out which file my log is I'll post the datazap link.
My odd Servotronic and window issues after replacing the DME fuse and flashing the PR coil checkbox was some mislocated fuses from when I was pulling and checking them blindly at lunch not knowing which fuse it was.
Edit: I think this is my purposeful log:
