1) How often is recommended to replace the dump batteries? I started noticing sluggishness when the excessive heat in socal (100+ for awhile) began. It might be my imagination but the voltmeter doesn't recover to 28.4 nearly as fast anymore.
2) Are you guys taking apart your batteries and cleaning for any corrision? Mine is buried under stuff and covered with electrical tape so haven't looked at it since install. Could there be loss of conduction due to battery corrosion?
3) Been off forums for awhile, what is the general consensus for best 91 octane procede map (I'm still happy with stock but kinda want to experiemnt)? Has there been any OFT map upgrades since Procede was released?
I haven't had a chance to measure boost yet with the OFT (probably do it over the weekend). The last time I felt "sluggish" was when IMO I got a bad tank of gas and adding some octane booster/using the 93 map made it felt peppy again. Unfortunately when using Torco Octane Booster I throw some random codes if I am low on gas so don't want to go that route anymore.
Just to be clear, it is very obviously still much faster than stock but (could be placebo) feels intermittently slower randomly.
It could just be the weather. Quick googling says hot weather reduced performance (air is less dense) and can also have negative effects on batteries. Who knows.

Welcome back.
It's probably mostly the weather. We've had so many 90+ degree days that if you're going to drop some power.
Our 91 gas really sux. Have you logged recently. Check to see if your IAM is dropping under 1.0 and staying there. If that's the case then you have your answer.
Oh yeah something else, when was the last time you cleaned your intake filter?
Lastly, what codes were you throwing? How are you certain that running Torco was the cause?
