I meant is the owner still driving with the piggyback installed now that its running fine or has it been disconnected?

No I believe he will leave the piggyback off until further testing.

Off topic: You live in Raleigh? I thought you guys operated out of CA. I bought a couple of things from last year and they definitely shipped from CA. Have yall moved?
I'm the East Coast rep, I live in Holly Springs actually about 20 min from downtown Raleigh.

Everything ships from California though since I do not handle distribution just marketing, social media, and customer service.

We have not moved!

We just got a report on the other forum of a member NOT using a tune or chip that popped his plugs. 100% stock :(

I went to Raleigh a few weeks back and spent the weekend there. I was planning on moving there when I get out of the military but my wife says the only way she'd agree to it is if I bought her a kitten. Not gonna happen.

I love the area. Spent most of my time downtown. Had a hotel right across from the bell tower at the school. Just gotta change her mind.

Dude! We should get up sometime, would love to meet you and see your Stinger! I'll be at cars and coffee next weekend (Saturday) in Morrisville near the airport.

Unfortunately I live about 2.5 hours away. I really enjoyed the area. I'm still working on her to get her to agree to move there. I'm doing lots of research on areas she wants to live in so I can pin-point reasons for us not to live there.

I will not install anything in my personal vehicle or a customer vehicle that will cause damage to the engine without any real test data.

Coming from a Kia tech, this is a good enough reason for me to hold off on a tune.

We decided to go with the M40il plugs instead of the M45il, I felt two step colder is not necessary as most likely the issue is with the plug gap rather than the heat range but 1 step colder will not harm anything.

Anyways, we gapped the M40iL plugs at .024 and ran the LAP3 on the 91octane setting even though we are using 93octane. 3rd day now, so far so good.
