Over the weekend drive #1 cylinder dropped out. Made it on 3 cylinders to the dealership a few miles away.
Thought I had bad gas (Wal-Mart).
Turn out to be the spark plug- E3 plug.
The electrode made its way toward the piston and after a bore scope barely touched the top of the piston (got really lucky). Pics included for your entertainment.
Nexen N7000 Plus -Very happy with this tire purchase, have tried Nittos 555, Toyo proxys, and a few others- this have been the best tire I've tried, especially after installing the Pedal Commander. I've had this tire for a week and it's my daily driver living in Florida (29k miles).
I had a 275/30/20 before and The way to go with my aggressive driving is the 35 aspect ratio and directional (never a asymmetrical)-just my opinion.

Check with DDM Dave puts some great instructions on setting in the package.
I am sure if you reach out to Angie at DDM she can get them for you. If not I iwll be home Tuesday and can scan mine and post them
just to make it clear, I have had them on for awhile and I'm looking for people's real life experience on the clicker settings- I have the instructions.
Let me know your numbers- just trying to find a Cadillac ride and a little bit performance-best of both worlds (sweet spot)
I've had DDM double clickers shocks for awhile and played with the adjustments once I first got them- I need to re-visit what other people have found to be to be the sweet spot- I'm in Florida so there is a lot of flat land, speed bumps, and a lack of road maintenance. I'm sure going back to a 35 aspect ratio from a 30 will help on the rear.
Any sugestions on the clicker positions?
After talking to John @ Pedal Commander last night about the Android App not mirroring the unit's face he said he would correct it- well lord and behold I went to my SS today and the Pedal Commander automatically connects to my phone and it exactly reflects what's on the face of the unit itself-that's service all the way back to the manufacture!
I don't understand the nitpicking about purchasing this product.
1. Great Device as usual from Slingmods
2. Great Pricing
3. 30 return policy
4. Digital/Bluetooth
5. Plug n Play
6. It works!
Need I say more?
This is not rocket science!
In A ECM tune their are 2 thoughts vs pedal commander:
The ECU tune = $400, changes fuel tables, timing, rev/mph limiters, and throttle response.
Pedal Commander= half the price of a ECU tune and DIY variable settings.
I know some people are thinking why not spend a few hundred dollars more for a tune- a few thoughts you might avoid warranty if your dealer has to plug in the digital wrench and or lose the tune.
I'm still on the fence getting turbo or supercharged- but when I do the pedal commander WON'T be obsolute-matter of fact it would be synergistic with the tune-especially having those variable inputs.
The only negative I can see with the pedal commander is the Andriod Bluetooth Application Screen doesn't match the front language of the unit itself (in other words not a mirror image)
And you really need a good rear traction tire- my Not to 555 G2 275/35/20 showed up today from Discount Tire for $200 shipped.

In the Quarter Mile (drag racing), reaction time and 60 ft times are normally the difference between winning or losing of vehicles of equal hp/torque. That being said if you shave 1/10 second off your 60 ft times you lower your ET by 2/10's.
Traction and Response time is the upmost importance @ the dragstrip.
Actually what got me to thinking about this was the other night when I was switching through the TV and I came across a televised drag racing event. They were in the second round of top fuel qualifiers and they were talking about the race that was about to take place. The one announcer pointed out that the one drivers car had more power and should be faster, but then the second announcer mentioned that the other driver had one of the fastest reaction times of all of the drivers. In the end the guy with the faster reaction time got out in point 5 something of a second and the guy in the more powerful car got out at point 7 something and even thought the one guys car was more powerful the guy who had the faster reaction time held on to win and move on to the next round
got me to thinking about "time to power" and how in a short distance it can actually give you an advantage over "having more power"
actually thought the timing of seeing this show was very weird - was right before I placed my order

Thanks a lot Slingmods-now you're costing me more money (after the install of the pedal commander).
Had to order a 275/35/20 Nitto 555 G2 rear tire! And that's only @ +3 Sport Mode.
ordered! Thank you very much for organizing the group buy-I wouldn't have ordered it otherwise and thank you Slingmods!
Fred
include me in the group buy as well!
Is there a problem with the cone filter on the turbo being that low in case of big puddle of water?
Toyo Proxes TR1
Running a 275/30/20 on rear (directional). Next time going to a 285 due to having plenty of clearance with Assault rear fender (have done this already with a Nitto)stay away from asymmetrical rear tires
How does Top Coat do on the black rough trim on the hood, top of dash, fenders.....etc?
we have enough problems with hydroplaning and the rear needs as much help as it can get.
Asymmetrical Tires are those that the tread pattern on one side is different than the other side. They will always have something on the sidewall that says "THIS SIDE OUT" - or words to that effect. The purpose of using asymmetryin a tread pattern is to allow the tire to be pretty good at 2 conflicting things.
Superior wet traction
The main advantage of directional tires is that they offer great resistance to hydroplaning. The V-shaped tread design pushes water from the center rib outward as the tire rotates to evacuate water better than a standard tread does. This gives you the most wet traction possible.
Better handling
Most racing and high performance sports cars use directional tires because they have better traction and handling at high speeds.
one thing that is being not mention, make sure for the rear its not asymmetrical tire
