Issue maybe with 55?
I have noticed lately if I'm in M mode and rev through 1st it have a slight Hesitation/ miss.. Also it just does not seem to be pulling as hard as it used to after the LET flash.. Maybe spark plugs? Any ideas? I might get it dyno'd to see the numbers to know for sure if it's low on power or not.. Any help would be appreciated guys...

i recall there is a thread about it, u can search
but everyone recomends using OEM plugs.
it is useful to change them every 2nd service. which is every 20,000. but again, depends on how you drive. and the timein the year. summerr = hot air = wear off more

i don't think they are expensive
shouldn't reach $100. it depends from place to place.
here in UAE i can 1 OEM plug for about $10. so about $80. but then. you have labor charge.
there is a thread about how to change them i think. chak the sticky threads under DIY

100k? I'm only at 36k... I got the LET flash about 3 weeks ago and the car was running amazing... He said the tune was a little richer than stock... Maybe I should get a dyno with a/f readings?

100K.
WTF. our dealer change them every 2nd or sometimes 3rd service.
but again. our heat may cause it to wear out fast.
dunno.
i just have to go with what they say, so that they don't blabla bla about warrenty and other things
stealers not dealers.

Your A/F ratio likely was maladjusted during the tune, and like you said, probably on the rich side.

mine is tuned and in STAR it was made, slightly Rich
but the tuner did that. because it showed that there light engine on. indicating low fuel pressure. he said mine was the first one that he had to do it after tuning ><

I was at 22k when had to change out my plugs. Was feeling strange hesitation. There is a thread someplace around here with pics I took of what they looked like, but were BLACK as all hell at those miles. Replaced them and felt like a new car!
