Gas Pedal Delay

After 10k miles and pulling the trigger on the 25 row oil cooler AND finally switching to redline 5w30 motor oil.. For some reason eliminated that problem on my case. Having the oil temp between 180F - 215F definitely kept the car lively and responsive at ALL gears except 6th. Even after driving for hours.. The "kick" in the lower rpm - just like the first time you start the car - is definitely there. I don't know.. I'm not saying the oil temp and the oil switch to redline is the fix for for everyone but it definitely did for mine.

Now that I didn't keep the oil cooler I'm sure it will be the FIRST mod for my 40th.
