I was very happy with my X-cal 2, 93 torque tune. I was able to lay rubber in 1st & 2nd, chirp the tires in 3rd. I did this the first few times out. Since then, I have been driving conservatively.

Today I was no longer able to lay rubber at all?

Is it possible that the computer is going back to it's old ways?

Since Hurricane Katrina several gas stations in our area have been caught passing off 87 octane as 93. Try filling at another station to see if you get your power back.
George how did they determine that is what they were doing?

Also, I hear that the tuner needs to turn off the self learning portion of the computer to keep it from making self adjustments. Just a thought.

I hope the gas thing is not true, I had to fill up today using 93 because it was all they had. At $3/gallon, it better not be 87.

I notice a slight performance loss when driving casual for awhile then trying to get on it, but nothing pressing the peddal down further doesn't fix. It doesn't take it too long to get back into the groove and change the fuel map.

Jeff, Try turning off the traction control before placing the Trans in gear. And report back if that helped at all.
