Spent a hour with the SHO today. Took off all 6 coils to check for oil. Didn't find a drop. Car is at 18k miles. Think it's good to go or could I still have a faulty valve cover seal in the future?

Going to pull the trigger now and get a tune. Already have the 3BAR, just need new plugs.

Where is everyone buying the SP534 plugs?
I'm running the denso TT plugs. I like them.

I recall when i first changed my plugs,they had the original MC-SP-528 which were platinum,then later they updated to the SP-534 which are irriduim and better quality,you can refer to your owners manuel.Z

Has anyone tested between a paper filter and the drop in k&n or afe filters on our cars?

glock-coma · March 30, 2015, 01:23:04 PM

I'm pretty sure fomocosho is running a paper filter.
I had to clean my k&n drop in a few days ago. I put the factory paper in temporarily. It definitely felt and sounded "different". Not bad, but just different if that makes any sense.

That is correct. After reading some filtration testing I decided this was the best route. Didn't seem to limit the old girl any, so I'm rollin stock.

How much difference are you seeing between ambient and IAT, FoMoCoSHO? Enough to consider thermal taping the inside of the stock air box?

Just ordered a SCT4 from Torrie!

Let the fun begin.

Awesome! If you need help setting up a data log let me know. I made a how to video.

Are you using the Motorcraft filter or another brand? I ask because I found the Motorcraft filter pleating is quite a bit shorter than any other brand paper filter.

Being shorter I imagine air flow will be a little better. Less material to travel though the better... I assume.

I might be asking for data logging help soon. I'm still in the market for a new laptop.

Sure thing. Just let me know when you are ready. I have the configuration file ready on Google drive.

A few laptops I recommend that I've used and find to be a good deal are the lenovo flex 2 i7, lenovo y40/y50/T series, or MSI depending on your budget.

All of the other brands I've used are just so flimsy and cheap anymore.

Wojomojo · March 30, 2015, 02:24:28 PM

Feel free to ask me as well. I have a configuration file for data logging that Torrie set up for me that I can send to anyone who needs it. Been doing a lot of data logging lately with my new found love (methanol injection).

Since there was unknown fuel in the tank and I assume it was 87 crapgas, I filled up with Shell V-power and it had an immediate effect on LOR and KR.
