I tried it last night it doesnt feel any different in regular driving i will let you know what it feels like once I get on it after work..

It's a last-ditch fix for autos that consistently clock less-than-V6 performance. It's definitely not something to just try out if you think your manual SS feels a little slow.

FYI - they are all 6-speeds.

Well, the 'butt dyno' difference was subtle enough to be missed by some. Which is why the M6 owners were more apt to NOT notice they had a problem. Shifting manualy can hide the subtle 'feel' of the difference. The clock doesn't lie though.

One thing I would do if someone is considering the 'fuse pull' is to get a minimum of five 0-60s at least. If not 1/4 mile times, for comparison. I went from no less than 100 timed runs averaging 6.15 and a best time of 6.01 to now averaging 5.36 with a best of 4.99. The quarter mile was even better.

yeah one question PQ if you can answer it..

I did a 0-60 sunday after noon i reved it to about 2300 and let off the clucth left like 15 feet of tire haze on the ground..

well the next morning me and my son go to run some errands and when i put it in first gear it kinda felt like it was not getting enough gas but it was..

It was almost like it was stalling but not really stalling..

So get back home.. have to go back out to get something else..

And it doesnt do it anymore??..

It hasnt done it anymore since?? what did i do??.. lol

yep but fuse pull takes a few seconds to pull and reinstall and a nice sleep in between, and is free.

Works or not, still didn't cost a penny.
