very cool Phil...

Just curious... why do they make you shift on the dyno? dont they usually make you casually get it into 3rd gear before mashing the pedal?

Oh, and C2 is your friend.

The had me place it in 3rd and rev up to 60mph then floor it. Took off traction control and stabilitrak. Had it in tow/haul mode for first two then no tow/haul the 3rd time.

Don't hate me but what is c2?

Gives me #'s to compare in the future and whether or not its worth it to get the 6.2l. And this isn't gonna destroy the engine. At least I hope. I put 60k miles on it and know how its been serviced for the last half its life. I'm OK with taking the risk and doubt its gonna hurt the car.

It rained the two days before the meet so I had to do a quick clean in the morning and quick spray down of the engine bay. No time to detail. And honestly could care less about the engine bay.
