Should I get chipped?

[MekstingerGT]

So I'm contemplating on either getting a racechip or vividracing chip. I've read all the stories about spark plugs and what not. My question is I know theres different settings but I'm not planning on running race gas or anything higher than 91, will that be ok? without replacing plugs? Just have it set on anything besides 91+ race mode. I'm even planning on getting the basic GTS model and not the black. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

With the vivid chip you're essentially the guinea pig, at least with racechip there's some real world testing.

I wouldn't put any tuner on the car without at least re-gapping the plugs.

^This. There are so many people that ran into issues with regap and stock plugs.

I agree. Re-gap your plugs for sure. I will be re-gapping mine.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Is it easy to recap a plug?
If I cap it too much how would i fix that?
Are the plugs being sold already cap?

Knowing my luck I would mess it up somehow. I saw the YouTube video and it'll probably take me all day. I'm also worried about the dealership finding that I've been messing with the engine and voiding my warranty. I know the chip can be taken out before going to the dealer.

It's really easy to re"GAP" spark plugs and there are plenty of videos on youtube on how to do it. Some OEM plugs come pre-gapped but since you're going aftermarket most will require gapping to the proper specs.

LoL realize I keep saying cap and not gap. Anywho I decided to go with racechip AND i will be regapping the stock plugs. Why aren't there any more reviews on RC? Theres probably a handful of reviews.
