    Tap shift isn't useless. How do you get into a lower gear? If i'm going down the highway and someone pulls along side wanting to race I don't just stomp the gas and hope it downshifts really fast to the gear I want.

    Well, you should. Your PCM should be tuned to shift better than meatbags.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Nothing is going to shift better than already being in the right gear with the revs up,

    I've never used tapshift but couldnt you just shift a second or two earlier to get it to shift at the time you want it to shift?

    Lol blue... I switched from 8k to 6k and immediately could tell 6k put out more visible light. I know if I dropped down to 4300k or 5000k it'd be the same story. More light!

    How do you get an '04 or later in low gear on a roll without whomping it?

    If you were waiting to go on the thrid beep from any rolling speed wouldn't you want to already be in the gear you wanted. I can tap down to 2nd at 50 and wait for that third beep.

    To clarify, you have an automatic. Tapshift does not make your transmission a manual. Sorry to burst your bubble.

    I wouldnt say a 260hp supercharged is regular. Well not when the car first came out anyways but compared to cars now it seems like every car is coming with a turbo lol.
