Re: not feeling the good kick ....
well plugs could be a issue but i ran my kit with the stock plugs and never had a issue lol. It sounds like you are running a little rich. What does your wideband say?
once i took my turbo kit off i felt like i had just nudered a dog

Re: not feeling the good kick ....
i would replace the plugs anyways.... When i was boosted i had a wideband and adjusted my tune everyday so my plugs never took a beating. I would get one step colder plugs.

Re: not feeling the good kick ....
your prolly running a bit rich, which is why your hesitating and your stk plugs are prolly not liking the extra fuel, so get a wideband and step colder plugs (heat range 7 in ngk) and retune it

Re: not feeling the good kick ....
yea thats right but i think autozone/advanced auto go by the parts number 3672 for the lfr6a-11 one step colder plugs
the lfr7a-11's are 2 step colder plugs
the stock heat is lfr5a-11
also invest in a wideband.. its for your best interest esp. if you are tuned with an SAFC II which i am sure you are

Re: not feeling the good kick ....
I just went to the parts house and got a set of plugs for a SRT-4...It does sound like you are running rich, though...Do you have a wideband?? You need to check your afr's when you feel that hesitation, will probaly be high 9's- low 10's IF that's the problem. I didn't even have a wideband when I had this problem and I just pulled fuel from the graph(on the AFC) until I felt the studder go away. Pull it(meaning decrease) in small increments though. You REALLY need a wideband to do this(I know you hate hearing this if you don't have 1), and be able to tell if you're doing any good...or harm.

Re: not feeling the good kick ....
You really need to invest in a wideband. The tune can vastly drift thanks to the stock ECU... you can't just get tuned and expect things to stay on target.
