Loss in acceleration + throttle response ??

Puny V6? I disagree; 3.7 liter is not a puny V6. And, I would rather have my 'fun' in the mid range and top end. This coming from a guy

This coming from a guy that had a Stang GT to S13 w/SR20DET to RX8 to 370z.

I fully Agree! I have owned 06 08 350z DE and HR does not have the same power has 3.7. Car just goes.

I admit, puny was an overstatement.

I just find the car's behavior below 4,000 RPM to be quite interesting. It has the power to GO, and does initially, but something happens and it stops... then a few seconds later it GOES. I wonder if a tune would take care of it.

Same issue here but it didn't start until around 5k (first oil change at 3700m). It used to be intermittent with the worst area 3 - 4k. Sometimes it is low power but progressive with a kick and other times it is just a complete dog unless I completely step on the throttle and get it to at least 6k or something. With the AC on the just seems like no power at any RPM. The high heat in the NE right now has definitely made it worse. I stay with Shell first and Exxon as my second choice. I'll try the battery disconnect tomorrow.

I have the AAM tune and if I jump on the car from a stop and keep on it I dont feel like it falls on its face in the 3K to 4K range. I think our cars could just use some more low end TQ overall.

Now if Im driving normal and the rpms are low and I stomp on it it does take a second to kick in but most cars are like that. If I know I might need to jump on it I put the car into manual mode and ensure the rpms are around 3k already then jump on it.
