All it had when I bought it was a k&n cai and gmpp axelback Ill try the fuse pull and see if that helps I'm in the process of getting it tuned I know I'm leaving a lot of power on the table

jrhaus76 is right, something is definitely not set correctly, I can have my traction control and everything on and just gun the gas and it smokes the crap out of em

2010abmss · 04-23-2011, 03:08 PM

I'll report back tomorrow I'm doing the fuse pull today if that doesn't help then off to the dyno sooner than later I'll let you guys know

2010abmss · 04-23-2011, 03:14 PM

I really appreciate all your help love this board I'll see what happens

2010abmss · 04-23-2011, 03:23 PM

Now that I think about it when I picked it up from the dealer it had a full tank which I'm sure they put 85 octane here in co and I drove it home the 2 hours all highway which probably gave the computer plenty of time to learn the low octane table

im betting thats it...

and there may have been 8000 miles worth of 85 octane in it before you bought it... you never know.

I will be shocked if your car isn't a new demon tomorrow.

Mine will get loose from a second gear roll at 40-45 if the tires and temp are cold. This is with 305 nitto DR's

You need a tune.

We have pretty much the same car mods wise... you have few more little things here and there... I have been considering the UP Pulley and a ported TB...

I have SW 1-7/8" LTs, Flowmaster A/T cat back, RotoFab CAI, springs, sways, trailing arms, toe bars, bushings, Hurst...

My dyno was 410 rwhp 420 rwtq SAE corrected on a Dynojet. I know number are just numbers... but with OPs mods he should be smoking tire.

You should be able to spin the tires, but your altitude will definitely affect performance.
You're looking at 6000ft. DAs, so your driving around in a 14 sec car at your altitude. You're probably giving up 80- 90hp to a car at sea level.

So for the guys at sea level, you'd need to put about 800-900 lbs of weight in your car for it to be comparable. That's why guys at high altitude like to go with forced induction.

This is true too... I am at about 650 feet...

Here is what my L99 just did with mods in my signature. I didn't touch the brake, just nailed it going about 5-10mph

With a good dyno tune, you will spin the hell out of them.

I know it will save the tires but I like to have fun also. Just wondering if anybody else has the same thing.

Not trying to insult u but, did you turn the traction control completely off?? Like hold the button till both the lights light up?
