I don't know fellas, my code jumped on the night of the Pike run and the car seems much faster. Definitely faster than my runs at Maxus. I reset the code and the check light didn't come back on.
theblue isn't running a rear O2 sensor either and his car is quicker than most.

It's probably nothing but I keep thinking about it.

Nah. I don't have a rear O2 sensor, and I've tried resetting the ECU at the track right before a run, and it makes no differnce.

The ECU doesn't even pay attention to the rear O2 sensor unless something goes wrong with one of the first two.

At WOT, the computer ignores the rear oxygen sensor.

At WOT, doesn't the ecu ingore all the 02 sensors? I thought it reverts back to present ignition/fuel maps under WOT?

Greg, I keep meaning to let you drive the car to see how it feels. It feels much more powerful now than it ever did. So I am feeling the power all around, not just at WOT.

Might you have run slower at Maxus because it was hot and humid and now it is not-hot (i dont want to say cold becuase it hit 70 in boston today) and the air is nice and dry?
