Hey Everyone,

I just picked up a leftover 2011 Cyber Gray 2SS Auto Vert. I love it but it seems slow off the line. Any launch suggestions?

What about mod recommendations? I was considering a Flowmaster axle back exhaust. Which CAI?

What about other mods?

I apologize it this is a sort of repost but I searched.

Thanks,

Adam

Did you test drive?

First thing first, do a fuse pull. Drive the gas down to E, remove fuses 5 & 20, let it sit overnite and replace in the morning then fill up w 93 octane gas. This will reset the computer and will increase the power and the sluggishness.

As far as mods, flowmasters AT catback and CAI. I like RotoFab. Good perfomance and awesome looks. Congrats on ur car. I had a '11 LT Cyber Gray and loved the color! When I upgraded to a SS no cyber grays anywhere near me...but I adore my white too

The fuse pull is good advice and once you have done this, drive it like you stole it so the computer maximizes performance...

Drive it until E. Fill it up with 93 and then do the fuse pull. Why have it reset to low octane table again on startup if it detects knock from crap fuel?

Then get a ported TB to reduce serious stock lag. After that mods are all up to you.

Fuse pull sounds like a great idea.

Turn the "nannies" off?. I'll give, what are the "nannies”?

Just be careful the nannies are the Traction control & stabilitrak. push T/C button once to disable T/C. hold button down for 7 seconds to disable both. push twice fast to go into competitive mode.

You will see the light come up on your gauges when they are off or will see competitive mode in your DIC.

Also an axleback won't help with performance. Just sound. I have a CAI Inc intake and LOVE IT.

I have nvr heard fill it up first? Everything says leave it on E. Ive done it twice (winter n spring time due to different mix) and it works great they way I know it.

Camaro Conv · 06-18-2012, 09:17 PM

Which ported throttle body is everyone running?

With the fuse pull, am I pulling and replacing the fuses with car not running?

If you have junk fuel in and the tables are reset to low octane. You do the fuse pull with same junk fuel in it. How will it reset to high octane? Even if it did upon startup it would surely detect knock and reset again to low before you got any premium in it.

Anyone i know has always done it after filling up with new fuel including myself.
