Fuse pull highly recommended

After seeing some discussion on this forum about the fuse pull. I decided to give it a try. I pulled fuses 5 and 20 overnight. Took the car out to my favorite "closed course" and opened it up this morning. First thing, I can't get the tires to hook up at all in first. I used to be able to roll into the throttle, and it would spin some but catch and pull hard to redline. Now immediately hits the rev limiter.
Then, in second gear, I had figured out exactly where to shift using the onboard shift light. When all dots turn solid. Now, nope hit the rev limiter everytime. Engine is just reving too quickly.
Thirdly, I got a forth gear chirp, at 98mph.

Interesting that the fuse pull even works on the ZL1! Can't say I'm really surprised though. It definitely wakes these cars up!

I'd love to hear a detailed explaination of what pulling fuse 5 and 20 does? It it just the exhaust flap or something else?

There is a sticky in the V8 sub forum that goes into detail what the fuse pull does. But in short, the Camaro isn't capable of re-learning fuel trims. So once you're in the low octane table you're stuck there. Fuse pull resets the fuel map.

car more than likely will not start with those fuse left out this fuse pull just clears the PCM tables so it will be in high octane vs. regular octane fuel table definatly need to reinstall the fuses after the pull just do a search if you don't know vs. guessing false info

What are fuel trims? How do you "get stuck" in the low octane table? Does one tank of 91 octane gas reset the map at that lower level?

From what I have read if you have been using 93 from the start, it will not require the fuse pull...

But the cars arrive to the dealers with very little gas. Do you think that the little it comes with from GM is 93 though? I'm talking before the dealer fills it...
