Adding a 3 bar = welcome to "Highly Modified" status   Speaking of which, your tune updated/ready to go for 3-bar?

Gonna be contacting LMS for the update shortly...might just ride down there next wednesday (45 min) early so I can swing by Milan Dragway for test and tune wednesdays. Thinking I might take stock air box to do some extra comparisons for the community also.

I'm a wuss.  I have the 3BAR new in box in my glovebox.  Waiting on a few more months to get the tune, making sure car has no issues

$50 part gets me to "highly modified"? As it only allows for better use of what's there I thought it'd still be "tune only". Hmmm?

Or you could put a tune on and find the weak link even faster! :

Honestly, I don't know where the cutoff would be for "tune only" status.  I'd assumed stock + tune = tune only status.  Plug gap/change I can justify as protection for the engine, you kinda have to do this if tuned.  Don't have to do (tho good to do) TStat, 3bar, etc.  IDK.

I'm confused on this as well. Just looking for clarity. Fastest "tune only" at 12.66 was lowered right?

Yes, tune only in my books.  To get beyond that, need Down Pipes.

"Tune only" would refer to powertrain mods, IMO.  True, suspension mods (springs/coilovers/traction bars) do help with times, so that muddies the waters a bit.  Will have to go back thru the history to see what the best time was with tune & minimum number of supporting mods.

It better sound like a fat gtr! Hah.

Really like the style if these stock 19" wheels and really like the look of the black and chrome mix rims. So I was thinking over the winter maybe something like this.

Quick tape job = rough lines

 

[SHOnUup]

Had to cover the lugs

Opinions? As harsh as they may be...

Personally i like it alot. Will look good i think  when you dip or powder coat all 4 of them.

 

[panther427]

Ended up with some free time. Got the T-stat, spark plugs and 3 bar installed.......

Sadly i too have the leaking seal around the spark plugs.. Back center spark plug... another trip to the dealer

 

[SHOdded]

Seems to be an issue with the 2013s?  2010-12 had the chaffed knock sensor wire issue back there.  At least you found the issue before it gotcha'd you, panther!  Good luck.

Me too!!! would like the shiny black with chrome on inner parts. Think it might throw a silver circle when spinning fast.
