Hello Jaystead, Sooooo you're in Newport News VA, and your Stinger is Blue on Black or Blue on Lt. Gray?
I'm and old school Hot Rodder and have already modded my 2018 Stinger after break in. Drop me a line at phil@geekone.com and would be happy to chat, just make e-mail title "Stinger".
How long have you had yours?

Spider55,
Nice Pic of engine
but I do want to point out two things... One you don't have a catch-can or vent filter on the CCV line, your going to the turbo intake (factory setup)... not a good thing in the long term.. under WOT elevated boost, you will dump oil into the turbo and will build up on intake valves due to GDI as there is NO gas cleaning the intakes valves, so I suggest you remove the rubber hose and cap the inglen tube and put a mini fabric filter on CCV or add a catch-can in line with it too.
Also I would suggest adding your spark plugs to your mod list as, ALL tunes must change factory spark plugs or risk many bad things. Denso 5346 or HKS M40iL, personally I run HKS M45iL and clean them up once in a while with K44.
For those not aware (I know you you are Spider55), the factory are VERY hot plugs and have LOTS of exposed porcelain that can break under per-ingnition and spark issues due to too large of a gap. Check out these pics, Factory NGK, Denso 5346, and HKS (Custom made NGK) M45iL side by side. Note all white on factory spark-plug (pre-plug&play) but runs very rich under WOT that you can see on metal. As a side note just as damnfastdd found I also found my factory spark plugs NOT torqued down correctly, took less than 2-3 lbs to break loose.

I'm not WOT all the time, I haven't even had my car past 3500 RPM yet. I don't race around on the street, I mod my car to be different. I've been modifying my Sportbikes for years. I know the power is there when I need it. I appreciate you saying something about it though.
Oh by the way, Welcome to the forums...…
