So I'm consistently seeing 140+ on my intake air temp after the car is warmed up or after the first trip of the day, and then it just stays hot. Car still seems to run pretty strong even with that, but one thing I am noticing is my car will not wind all the way to redline, seems to be shifting in the 5700 rpm at WOT most of the time, only occasionally will I see it wind to 6k+. Was going to try 100 octane gas this weekend to see if that will make the knock sensors happier, but do you think it's not giving me full advance on the timing and not all the RPMs due to the car thinking it's drinking 140+ degree air? Outdoor temperatures have been in the 80s the last few days. I drive around a lot in D but use the paddle shifters which is supposed to force the car to shift at redline when you floor it, but not before...I have tried driving in track mode a little and the power chiller does kick in drawing that intake temp down to 115-120 pretty quick, but I hate how it forces the A/C on and blows very hot air into the cabin. Thanks for any help, just had the car 2 1/2 weeks and only have about 700 miles on it so just figuring it out and have been exploring the performance over the past few days...
I am going to try to drag race on Saturday and I want the car to run well, which it does, I just don;t think it's giving me everything. I do live at ~5500 feet and 91 octane Shell is the best pump gas I can get which is all I run.
