I have future plans for some suspension stuff. but I'm trying to take it a bit slow. I did change my rotors and pads though

hmm okay, was just curious if it was necessary to upgrade some of that stuff after the upgrade in power

They make everything custom. Charge tubing and I believe they take the intercooler from a core

Recorded the drive in to a car show last weekend.

I just wanted to show the pull I had against a LS3 with BBK long tubes, BBK intake, HFCs, Corsa cat back, and hurst short shift.

You can watch the whole thing or just start at 3:20

And two less cylinders. We could pull two of your spark plugs.

Thanks!

As for a small update. I pulled my plugs today. They were gapped from .040 to .042. I brought them down to about .034. I attempted to replicate the misfire on my ride home from work. I don't think I pushed it as quite as hard as I did in the misfire video, but I didn't hear anything. I'll test it out a few more times though. I was going to gap them down a bit more but I didn't want to change them too much at once.

That's good news man. Hope that turns out to be the issue.
