Perceived Trottle Pedal Pressure
I have an 03 coupe, the intake and exhaust are modified quite a bit, has the air fuel leaned 3%, fans set at 190 and 210, 170 thermostat, and the car runs exactly as desired.
However, maybe someone on the forum can answer this question: When I fill up the gas tank, I add Outlaw octane booster to every fill-up as California only has 91 octane and the LT series is designed to run on 93 octane or better.
With this in mind, why does the car perform better with a full tank of gas vs. 3/4 or less tank full, a noticeable drop in accelerator pedal pressure is noted unless on cruise control. I am sure it is part of the gas re-circulation system (smog crap) but would like to maintain that initial pedal pressure throughout the full tank, any ideas?

Have you taken into account outside temperatures? the only thing 3 things i ever notice that seem to slow me down are A/C, Passenger or if its really hot outside.
