After the fuse pull I timed a few more 0-60 runs and still came up with about 6 seconds.

My car was built in 9/09. This is the first car that I have ever had with anything like this much power, so it seems fast to me no mater what. But I know it is doing no where near 5 seconds. I want 5 seconds!

I did buy the car used with 5000 miles on it. The owner of the dealership drove it for several months and told me that it had always had premium gas put in it, but who really knows.

It was really hot on the days I tried the post fuse pull 0-60 runs. I'll burn more 93 and maybe wait for some cooler weather. I assume multiple fuse pulls does not hurt anything?
Multiple fuse pulls could actually hurt your wrist if you don't do it right. ......... Just sayin'

If you can, get a device to time it. Something with an accelerometer. So that it starts as soon as the car moves. It's real hard to get a good time by stopwatch in the car. Or take a video and stopwatch it like that. But do it 15 or 20 times and come up with an average.

I don't currently know of any other problems causing a power loss.
