What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Got all the bad batch Conti DWS06 off my car.  Brand new all the way around. 

I also enjoy the banter around this place.

Congrats man.  Hoping they work better for you and last a while.
 
Installed the new MSD Coils today..
I did add a tab of dielectric grease on the boot for good measures.  Z

Tell me more about this??  I just put a set on.  Have a slight shake at highway speed that road force balance didn't take out, next is to recheck alignment, although that should be good after the $ I dropped suspension and alignment-wize at stealership.

Thanks!!  I will have to check the date codes.  I got them from Discount Tire in June of this year, so hoping they are not that old of a build date!  In all honesty, as much trouble as I've had at this dealer, probably and mis-alignment issue.  Or, maybe they didn't seat the hub bearing correctly and now it is on its way out (that wouldn't surprise me either).  Doubt I will go to this dealer ever again.

I have only had good luck with Discount personally.  For some reason my SHO (2013) had 2011 tires on it...  However, all my build dates are within a year and I have heard they have fixed the problem...so we shall see.

To me its a no brainer for the $250ish and they are easy to install. Plus they come in Three different colors ?

I really like this mod.  So like the article states, is the engine responsiveness a night and day difference or what?  That was the main point.  Along with just under 10 horse and torque, the biggest difference was the way the car responds?  Any feedback in regards to that?

I will report back once I hit the 11's !  ;) Bit busy today and hoping tomorrow will have some positive news to report.  Z
 
Here is my take with the new MSD ignition coils @ 61K!
I immediately noticed a much smoother idle followed by a quicker warm up time on a cold morning startup!
I did notice for some reason that my BOV to sound a bit louder!
I did remove the ground terminal on battery for 1 hour to immediately notice a quicker,shorter cranking period upon startup,similar to when installing a new battery....

IMHO as far as performance gains i did notice the vehicle to be a bit more responsive with negligible gains to be had and time will only tell @ the Track!  If you have any questions please feel free to ask..Z

Here is a good article for reference...

Thanks Z!  I've been slightly hesitant to pull the trigger on them but I no longer doubt their benefit.  Definitely on my list of To Do's!  Go get that 11 at the track!!! 
 
I wrapped my extra set of charge pipes with some heat resistant tape to maybe help with cooling! Dunno! Z
