  • Anyone use different spark plugs?

    Let's revive this thread!


    So what is everyone using for Spark Plugs and why? Gap?


    I am still Naturally Aspirated so that is my focus atm. I am curious to try these E3 plugs. I have 28k miles on the sling now and I have Bob's tune.


    E3
    NKG Iridium
    NKG Platinum

  • Sway Bar

    Regardless what you set the upgraded bar to it will feel stiffer. The stiffer you go the less lean you will experience. It does slightly change the feel of the steering. If you are not very aggressive than you can leave it on the lower setting and still corner much better than stock. What I think will be a factor is do you have aftermarket shocks or stock?

  • 1320 v2 header

    I have the CAI, cat delete and Bob's tune.. I would just be switching the header. If it needs to be tuned just for the header than I will wait till I get the turbo as well. Doing the header now was to get some boost in performance and I can use the same header with the turbo.

  • 1320 v2 header

    Quick question someone should know the answer to. If I get the 1320 v2 header with stock exhaust (cat deleted),CAI, tuned ECU, Will I get more hp or torque? I am going to get the DDM turbo setup at some point, so I know I can use the 1320 with that as well.

  • Tires...what are you running?

    I have been running these since I took off my stock Kenda's Day One <------


    I drive my Sling like I stole it. I do not do bake shows but I have had some nice launches :D
    I have the base rims stock tire size is Front 205/50/17 Rear 265/35/18 I went with Front 225/45/17 and Rear 275/35/18 I run 28 lbs of tire pressure front and rear.
    Tire Rack or Direct Tire has been where I have purchased mine, last price was;
    225/45/17 = $99.92 +$8.58 S&H per tire
    275/35/18 = $166.40 +$9.87 S&H per tire


    For the price they are very good, quiet tire, handles very well on dry and wet pavement. I have 26k miles on my front tires and still have plenty of tread left I am on my 3rd rear as they tend to last around one season or 6k miles estimated for my spirited driving :evil:


    For the performance and price I honestly do not feel you will find a better tire and the tread pattern look great as well in my opinion.


    From the hours of reviews I have done if you want to step up performance there are two tires that are at the top of the charts


    Michelin Pilot Super Sports
    Continental Extreme Contact Sport


    They are pretty close in performance from certain reviews the Continentals edge out the Michelin some say the opposite but what really makes the call is that that Continental's are less expensive.


    I am installing a new set of SLR forged rims I am going with the Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires
    305/30/20 Rear $347.47 +$22.47 S&H per tire
    225/45/18 Front $163.40 +$8.52 S&H per tire


    I will give my thoughts on the Continental tires after I have put them through the torcher test :evil::thumbsup:

    I should have posted this here oops.

    Hello all,


    I am sad to see Bill and Angela are not going. I hope everything gets better soon. I have a room at the Jonathan Creek in first floor 2 queen beds that I can split with someone if they are interested. I have the room from Tuesday till Sunday. I also have an empty seat driving down again if anyone wants to share the adventure driving down with me :) Can't wait to see everyone again this year! Everyone safe travels!
