How about if the car is in M and you use the paddle shift, will the tires keep smoking when the car is manually shifted into second gear?

you can do an awesome burnt out with a manual . I'm not trying to be smart, but if you have to ask you shouldn't do it with this car. It can get out from under you real fast.

I was skeptical about the fuse pull too, until it got me almost 8 tenths, yes 8 TENTHS at the track. The low octane tables seriously rob this car of power. I went from a 9.22 at 75 mph to an 8.45 at 84 mph. The fuse pull works. Big Time!

Nope. Worst case, you get no gain (meaning the car isn't running on the low octane tables).

Just punch the throttle. It'll burn tire just fine. No other little tricks needed.

Unless you get a rental from Budget with a full tank of 87 in it. It wouldn't even chirp the tires from a dead stop, TC off and in sport mode. :(

Only thing I noticed was once I put them back in it ran a little rough (depending on how sensitive you are to how the car idles you may not notice) for a few minutes untill the comp readjusted.
