Gas Pedal Delay

So it the general consensus when the Oil Temp gets to 220 performance goes downhill and I should expect the delay? I am running at 220 all the time, as its 100+ out every day and soon to me most nights, gotta love AZ.

That's not really consensus. Oil temp shouldn't cause the type of delay we are describing. Yes, at 220 the engine will not be as powerful as it is at 200, but it shouldn't fall flat on it's face when you punch it either.

Doesn't seem to be consensus, but I still feel that could be it. m4a1mustang, it doesn't sound to me like you have experienced this first hand either. You have to feel it and experience it to know what I mean.

I do know there is a lack of response (read: noticeably less power) when the temps are higher, I just think what I'm experiencing (2-3 seconds of NOTHING, even with the throttle floored) is unrelated as it doesn't matter if the car is cold or hot... it won't go.

I'm thinking it might be related to the intakes as Daishi suggested. Will have to do some digging this weekend to find out.

I read over most of this the other day. Today I was going through the Oct. Option magazine and came accross an alternative to the Sprint Booster from Blitz called the Blitz Throttle Controller. I made a post about it HERE if you care to discuss.

This was a major problem for my red 370z before I traded it for the 40th. I understand that this car does not have a lot kick at lower rpm but like some, I get to a point where I almost get tboned turning left on a yield intersection for having that slow throttle response. 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.

I'm quite a fan of Red Line in race engine applications, and I will tell you straight up that switching oil had nothing to do with that change in behavior, perceived or actual.
