Any noticeable gains ?

@mattr66 tested and said 7% wgdc reduction and I believe 7whp over an airaid. Don't quote me on the hp though lol. Assuming being able to push the baby turbos that extra little bit of wgdc is where the gain came from.

Our tune regularly does 400 whp on a mostly stock car as long as the intercooler can keep up.

Was curious guys, went to the dealer today and was told the brand new tires I just bought are almost completely worn out on the inside, im currently on h&r springs but maybe 5 days after putting the springs on i went for an alignment where bell tire told me my alignment was fine that I just had a bad rear lateral link, which I replaced today lol but the rear tires have absolutely no wear and are wearing evenly unlike the fronts which are almost gone and I have only 3k miles on them, not very happy considering I gotta spend 500+ for just 2 tires

Are they really though? This reminds me of a story I heard from an older woman. She bought a car, took the wheels and tires off, and put on different wheels and tires for winter. She put the originals back on for summer and went in for an inspection....the service guy comes out and tells her she needs all new tires. Well this lady freaked out on him...as he deserved. She drove on those wheels/tires maybe 500 miles..now they’re bad?? Needless to say she never went back to that dealership for anything. Scum bags trying to take advantage of ppl!

If you haven't already, buy a cheap tire gauge and check the depth yourself. Even with improper wear, surely you'd get more than 3K miles.

I have a pretty good mechanic locally that I trust. Been using him since I was 16. Of everyone I've dealt with, I feel like he's the most honest. I still like to do my own maintenance. That way I'm not being overcharged for labor and I know I'm getting what I paid for.

This week has been a maintenance week for the 'ol truck. Oil/filter, coolant, transmission fluid/filter, spark plugs, air filter clean/recharge, and even replaced the ATF for the power steering. I'll still let my mechanic rotate my tires. I need to invest in a good torque wrench. I don't trust the cheap HF one I have.
