I doubt that it is bad gas since I refuel almost daily at the same station.
Also perhaps it is the computer adjusting to slower driving since I have not floored it much lately.
I will keep you posted.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Wait......you haven't floored it much lately and now it feels slower?


Put some damn foot into that skinny pedal

Now, with the cam, headers, and all, it feels fast some days and other days I think I better start saving up for a supercharger. Strange how perception of a car's acceleration can change from day to day, but it sure does.

I guess that could be my problem.
However still fun to drive

The fuse pull thing is what I can best describe as "urban legend" on this forum. It is hilarious, there are entire threads on it, both pro and con. I tried it and had your same results, or lack of.

You should hear the people swearing by the fuse pull, in regards to how it works, they should be doing informercials, ha.

Okay, my other favorite "debunker"............you will soon have "experts" telling you to put an Oil Catch Can on the car, only $180 plus installation if you don't want to do it yourself. It is as effective as the 5-20 fuse pull, even more so, takes actual $$$ out of your wallet into theirs.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Although I had the same results from the fuse pull as you did (none) I've definitely found that the catch can collects a couple ounces of oil between changes. You can debate whether that matters, but I don't think there's any question about the fact that it does stop some amount of oil from going into the intake.

One may even describe the fuse pull as the Placebo Pull.

Let's not get into the catch can here.

That's the general consensus. It definitely picks up oil. Will that make the difference between your car working for 150,000 vs. 300,000? who knows. Probably not.

Thank you sir, I have been a lone voice out there, espousing what you just stated so eloquently.

God bless us all.

No mechanical issues what so ever.
Are I am getting used to the speed and power of the car or are I am crazy??

If you feel like this may be an issue, you can always get a diagnosis at a dealership to see if they can pinpoint the issue. Please let us know if you continue to experience this.

He has an M6 LS3 car. it only works on L99 automatic cars.

I had the same thing happen to me...I got used to it. Now that I have installed LTs....it's better for now.

No it works on LS3 also. It has been proven and was proven again when dealer put 89 in my 2013 LS3. After running tank out and running a tank of 93 did fuse pull and night and day difference.

Also catch cans work, don't feed the trolls.

Here is the fix:

go to car rental company
rent economy car
drive for a week
return rental car, drive camaro

Yes only the V8's, And only if you have used a lower octane fuel at some time. If you have always used high octane premimum the fuse pull does nothing. Same if you never use anything but regular. The fuse pull will do nothing.
