Baseline Acceleration Tests
I am using the GTEC-PTO RR meter for my 0 to 60 acceleration tests.

On each test I went both directions to account for any wind or elevation change. Air conditioning off and all traction controls off.
The 1st conclusion I realized is the car will do lower 0 to 60 times in automatic shifting by it's self over manual mode with me shifting @ 7000 rpm. I couldn't believe it at 1st but after a dozen runs or so The proof was on the clock. Full automatic mode was consistently 1/4 second faster. Loading the converter to 2000 rpm gave me slightly better times than nailing the gas from idle.

After several base line runs the best I was able to do was a 8.28 0 to 60 time. This was consistent over several runs.

1st change, installed a stock replacement K&N air filter. Once again several runs in all modes netted me only a 8.27. Not worth the 50 bucks in my opinion. It's going back.
