.2 sec is what I figured. This from the guys who tested this stuff. I knew it would not be more than that.

So I guess I just wait for my dealer to call me with the fix.

I've been getting a consistant 6.1 to 6.2 0-60, in ALL modes. Even with TC on. EVEN in 'D'. There has been no difference.

Outstanding news!

then why is that on the LS3 to go to competition mode you hit the button twice to turn both of them off. In competion mode is when I can do the launch mode, which is used during drag racing not road course.....

opinions????

BTW,....great news on your car!!!!!!!

Great post - this is what all of us need to know when taking delivery and running there after. Thanks for sharing!

Scott@Bjorn3D · 08-11-2009, 08:39 PM

The L99 does not have launch control. I do not have a LS3.

Slvr1SSA6 · 08-11-2009, 08:40 PM

Was it a flaw in the ecm? If you put some "bad gas" in will it go back and run like it did before and not reset itself? Sorry for all the questions but, if that is it...a tuning I will go. The TCM will get adjusted.

faninc · 08-11-2009, 08:42 PM

so if you have an RS running 87 octane and 900 miles on it and switch to 93 octane will it relearn and produce some faster results and more HP?

thanks

you know there is a difference in the L99 and the LS3 right?

Scott@Bjorn3D · 08-11-2009, 08:45 PM

They said if the car runs low octane gas it will right away reduce the timing to keep from knocking. Then they said if you start running high octane it will slow take away the timing retardation and the car will get more HP.

The big question is why did my car not learn? I have been using several different stations incase it was bad gas and car has still thought it had low octane gas. That may be something that needs to researched by GM.

I'm gonna wait to see what they tell my dealer to do with mine. Scott wants me to wait till it gets cooler in 3 or 4 months. Right now I'm still over a half second slower than the car they brought with them (after the .2 adjustment for the wheels) so I'm hoping it wont take too long for the dealer to get to it.

RS?

faninc · 08-11-2009, 08:49 PM

I realize different engines but do all ECM's learn based on octane used and could they perform better and relearn under higher octane? That was the question...
