Default WOT Question

I noticed a slight breakup in the exhaust growl at WOT in 3rd and 4th andwas wondering if anyone else had this.
Sounds almost like the engine could be skipping. I think I notice it most because of the slower rev up at those "highway" speeds. Seems like at about 4500+ the exhaust growl starts to sound a little broken up.

know we run rich at WOT but could it be running to rich? I run Sunoco 94 Ultra all the time. Car still pulls like a mule the whole time.

Anyone? :confused:

:cheers:

Have you tried it with traction control turned off?

Yes, my 01 made that sound in same circumstances you mention. I never was able to determine the origin or cause. But, like you, I never noticed any dimunition of performance. Quite the contrary, it was a strong running engine and produced good results on the dragstrip....But it did make that noise at WOT high in the rpm band.

I can't hear that sound in my 02. It may still be there but the absense of the pup-cats makes the interior much louder at WOT.

Traction control?? Whats that?? :D :D

Yes, I have run both ways.

Ranger, good to hear someone else had it too.

I plan on getting the LS1 Edit software somtime soon so I can start to mod. Gonna start slow and gradually work her up. :yesnod: Anyone know if the software will help me determine what the deal is?

:cheers:
