Drivetrain The Always Up-to-Date Thread on Tuning 2011+ (N18) MINIs
#2001
Terry told me NGK 5992. Like I said I will find out Tuesday to see how the car runs. Right now she's pulling harder and harder by the miles. It's incredible when I used to drive in 50mph zones, the car was running up to 55. Now she wants to go faster and easily reaching 65mph.

No you don't have to run it with colder plugs, but I want to because with most tunes it'll be run the car more smooth IMO. Plus, I'm at 55K miles, so I think it's time for new plugs since I'm replacing the valve cover next week.

What boost were you running without the meth?
I ask because your car runs great, so obviously no negative side effects from your previous setup.

Put ~100 miles over the weekend on JB+. It does seem to take ~50 miles to reach its full potential. No issues so far. The car just wants to go faster and faster. Pick up seems a lot smoother now. No matter what gear you are on, once you press the pedal, the car just comes to life.
At the moment I am running a mix of 100 octane and 91 octane in ~1:3 ratio. Contemplating if I should switch back to all 91 or keep it this way($8/gallon for 100 :( ). Would like to hear from you guys what do you think. BTW this is cali gas.

It depends on the intake temperatures and mapped timing advance. As far as the JB+ does I would not run any higher than the default setting on 93 octane. In some cases on 91 octane you may need to go a bit lower. But that is still being evaluated.
