So that started after your cat replacement & reflash from dealer ?
Yes I had issues all last year until it was figured out.

That reflash I think is changing the COT to try & save the cats but it doesn't help performance.

Yep that's what it looks like. You can feel the car lose power a couple of times during a run. It was worse last year. The car was not consistent at all. One of the track workers asked me a few times what was up. My car was usually consistent to within .05 throughout the day. Suddenly the times could be .2 apart.

That's why I don't want to do it but I'm tuned, I did talk to a service advisor at dealer & told them I was tuned & didn't want the reflash with the cat change & they said they could do that but I still don't trust them & haven't done it yet.

The reason I did it is because I was getting high injector DC. I kinda hoped that the recall would help with that. As usual I was wrong.🤦

I did not have to wait for cars to run down the track as this was a rental with proper radial prep. No cars without drag radials or slicks were aloud down that lane. Not that there were any there. When it gets colder on a normal tnt day that is the case though. Nick the owner does a great job of keeping the track in good shape.
That's Awesome @moparjim WTG!:cool:
Did you take out your passenger seat because if you didnt you can even get a better ET!

Congrats
Linda:)

LOL. I never have. The car had EVERYTHING it came with , as in floor mats compressor all seats... Well you get the idea.
I had run that quick before, the part that amazed me is the sub 1.5 60' because I have never seen another stock car do that. Killerkat and I used to compete with each other until I hit the 1.50 range and we stalled there for awhile.

I was trying to see if I could get the parts without the flash but they wouldn't do it. Still thinking I may get it before I put a tune in so I have new cats and 02's

2015 to 2017 I think. For sure it affects 2016.
To be clear I was having similar issues before which is why I had it done.
The issue is more that you can feel it going down the track now. Now I can feel the power drop quite often. Before only maybe a few times that was the case.
This is on a car that sees more than 10 passes a week on average.

Mine is a 2018 and it lays over many times when it gets hot.

I have a heat exchanger and it helps some but not enough.

Not sure if my issue might be from the same thing?

BTW, mine is tuned.

I have to break down and finally get mine tuned to hopefully get rid of my issue.

Thinking it is a computer issue being it was there before the recall. May be why your car is so fast also

Hmmm..maybe.
It was not as pronounced as it is since the flash.
As for fast there are 2 other cats at my track that if I run them everything better be perfect or I would lose. I attribute the performance to the track that I know I hook on 99.8% of the time, the weather up here and lots of practice.

I guess I agree as I have exceeded my expectations at every level with this car.
I doubt I can improve on any of my pb' s at this point. I just didn't want to have just another modded HC. My mods will be very minor so anything now won't have the same impact as being stock.
I guess it's time though. Let's see what it can do with stuff done that people accuse me of having done already. LOL

6Credits and he can save his changes and you get a PCM unlock included :ROFLMAO:
A thought if you wanted to stay stockish you could do engine and trans tune only with a race fuel tune. You could then say you did 9s stock boost. That'd really tick some people off.
