I have a video when I installed it in our Stinger, I just have no idea how to post a video.

The first plug is the one on the intercooler pipe heading to the throttle body, the second is on the intake manifold from the back facing the firewall. To access the second one you need to remove the plastic engine cover.

If you would like I can send you the video by email.

I believe this forum software requires you to host the video somewhere else, then link to it. Simplest is YouTube, and everyone would benefit if you share here, instead of by email.

Can you post it to YouTube, Facebook or any Social Media site? I can embed it to the forum afterwards. This would be very helpful for a lot of people.

Stinger, did you track your car after installing the LAP3? I'm curious about the gains in real world conditions. Wish I would've taken mine off my Optima before I sold it lol.

Unfortunately I ran into some spark plug problems with the LAP3, you can read the details in the other LAP3 thread. We are trying to see if we can tune it directly, if not then we are going back to the LAP3 and see if it works out the second time round.

Spark

No, we stayed with the stock plugs.
question, has your plugs burned off or are they still good. I know when i had my stx optima i had to change the plugs before using my lap3 chip.

Thanks! Stinger already pretty [powerful but were you able to notice it even more so? I think the report is about 73hp with 93.
Have you installed OCC's yet and if so where to place to go along with the chip?

So have only 2 people so far had some type of spark plug issues? Have mine still set for 93(666) from my Optima SX.

I have set to 91 (highest I can get here). Like others have commented, i don?t notice much difference in comfort; however, in sport the torque increase is impressive - especially at 60+ mph. Hard to quantify exactly how much with the butt dyno. It was definitely worth the expense. My better half also has a GT and she can feel the difference. I bought that OCC, but haven?t installed it yet. I did some recon yesterday to figure it out. I noticed there was a one way valve and stared wondering if it?s even necessary.
