I don't think its your tires,reading some of Toms other posts I think the shift pressure for your tune isn't as high as mine might be.
My shifts will just about give you whiplash....I Love it!

Firmer is going to be better than softer shifts.

No 92 octane tune from F/W's= what next?

FSwerk's doesn't offer a 92 octane tune, on their order site= 91,93,94 for their 1st tune. What would I have to do to get a 92 octane tune? Or is it worth it? Does any one know what global spark is compared to the spark advance? And does running their header & exhaust do anything or change for a flash? I ordered the flasher/header & exhaust at the same time, would the make adjustment for a freer flowing exhaust?
