Nahhhh, I'm pretty afraid of adding what I did already. I don't want to beat on this expensive of a vehicle with this many miles too much. 3 bar, thermostat, and plugs are probably the only other stuff I'll change.

I got a 87 tune for max mpg, and a 93 strip tune. I have a quarter of a tank to burn, then I can refill and upload the 93 and see what this thing can do!

Not sure what octane fuel you're running now, but to play it safe I'd burn through a little 93 first before going straight to the 93 tune. You're going to love your 93 tune!

Hey quick question. I'm changing the plugs to a set of sp534's with the recommended gaps. Anyhow, are the plugs supposed to be crazy tight?
We always snugged them.

No, don't over-tighten the plugs. I don't have the torque specs in front of me, but something like 1/2 turn past hand tight is enough.

I have always gone hand tight with a little extra maybe 1/4 turn after

While I was running out the 87 octane to prepare for the 93. My check engine light came on. Two codes are coming up.
P0050 and P0150. Bummer.
