How many miles on the car? If you do not have 1,500 miles on it, there's no use worrying about anything. What about the 4th mode (which is not in the User Manual)?

Try this:

1. Get the engine up to operating temperature.
2. Hold the Skid Control button down until you see the trac AND skid lights come on at the same time. This is not Comp Mode btw.
3. Drive off in 1st gear and punch the pedal only when the engines RPM is at 3,400 RPM.
4. Shift at 6,000



Let me know how that goes....

4K? I plan on hitting it hard after 4 miles!

Actually, I've heard about being kind of rough with them up front and they react well. I probably wouldn't go to 6K within the first 500mi but after that I think, change the oil and get after it.

I'm going to follow this basic break in:

Yes but this engine is a dog until you break it in. I would still recommend breaking it in as per the user manual but after the first oil change, it's off with the gloves....

I have 3000 miles on it. I will give that combination a try this evening and see how it goes.

Thanks for the advice.

Looking forward to hearing the results. Please post back here so that others can learn from it. Remember, you must hold the trac button down until you see the yellow lights come on in your dash pod. You'll think nothing is happening but just keep holding the button!

Absolutly i will post back later tonight with the results. Thanks again. Although with a dyno like this not sure if it will make any diff these were the best the car could do. The 12 post is my dyno results.

I wouldn't worry too much about the LS3 M6. They seem to be making the advertised power and running just fine. The only unknown is in the drivers seat.

Am I reading that correctly? You tested when it was 96 degrees out? What was the relative humidity?

95.5 degrees 48% humidity

Some folks will disagree with me but air quality is much more important than fuel quality, especially with these newer high energy factory engines.

My engine builder would never dyno anything under the conditions you have just stated. Perhaps you cannot get better conditions than 95.5 degrees and 48% humidity but if so, you will never achieve the factory HP numbers.

What does this actually do? Does it allow the wheels to spin? Thanks

Yes as well as bring the revs up quicker.
