WTF my G is so much faster what happened?
Ok here is what i did yesterday. I had a check engine light on because of a cracked carbon filter and a tube was cracked that was going to it. I took it all apart replaced the tube and sealed the filter. Check engine did go off for a while but then came back on but at least there is no holes in the carbon filter now.
Second what i did yesterday was filled up with 93 octane instead of the usual 91 octane.
temperature was close to 0 F
Either way i ran best time ever with gtech ss of 5.68 0-60 and 14.3 1/4 at 97.5 mph
before I could not get belllow 6 sec and 14.65 was best 1/4 time (measured at 25 degrees F)
Before Gtech showed 180hp and 200 trq , Now its at 194 hp and 222 lb of torque,,, that is a big increase
What happened here I can't figure it out. Is it the gas, the carbon filter or the weather?

Its nearly 4am here in San Diego, just got home from a party and believe it or note its 27 degrees out there right now according to the G. Yes, I know thats not that cold to some of you but for us spoiled San Diegans thats COLD!
On the way home, it was like I was driving a totally different car. Crisp throttle response, longer and more solid pulls, hell first and second not only went by in a flash but they sounded so much meaner with a strong growl.
Even the gf mentioned how good the car sounded. Considering what a pig our G's become once they are all hot and tired from traffic it was nice to hit the streets and snap your head back. Considering tonights experience I might look into the isothermal gaskets for the intake plenums.
Its to bad we can't get the extra ponies year round, but then again I too far spoiled to give up the weather here.

I've noticed in sub 30 temps that my G sounds harsh, coarse, and not as responsive has it does in 30-50 degree weather. I think that too much cold air is too much of a good thing.
I think the main reason why his G35 was quicker was because he fixed a minor vacuum leak with the cracked tube and filter. The MAF is now allowed to deliver a more accurate air reading. ANY crack or leak in the intake tract will result in a loss of performance. If the leak is bad enough, the engine won't even idle.

But I can't find anything to back what I remember reading one time..
