see label guy's quote below, I read on a couple of threads here in the forum in regards to increased boost level and incorrect plug gap issues exposed.

Pull your plugs and check them for proper gap and wear.
Would you feel "misfiring" with this at higher boost level and rpm ?

The fix with Stage1 is to lower the boost target slightly per BMS' suggestion. Or upgrade to a JB4 that has robust fuel control.

I think I may have to do this. I know I have to buy that additional cable. I am assuming I need windows based software to do this?

Also the question I really want to know, does the computer throw a code when it misfires? Because I don't have any engine warning codes when it happens.


Again thanks for everyone's input. I am by no means trying to bash the manufacturer, just trying to gather data and people's experience to make an informed decision... Also I am lazy so trying to trouble shoot at efficiently as possible.... lol
