6th Gen power claims and validation aside, the octane table issue was always a transient one.

Just got back from running errands and testing my fuse pull. She's alive again! After putting back the fuses, I started her up and let the engine idle until the RPM settled. Meanwhile, I changed drive mode to "Track" and TPM mode to "Race", like it was when I was experiencing the issue. With coolant temps still cold, I slowly left my neighborhood. Once on the state road I eased it up to 20 MPH and punched it. Tires spun easily. Once more to be sure... yup, plenty of power on the low end without hesitation.

I ran my errands and returned home. When on the state road again, I slowed to 20 MPH and punched it. This time, with the tires warmed up, not as much wheel spin but no hesitation whatsoever and plenty of low-end torque. Slowed and repeated twice to verify.

This was admittedly very un-scientific, especially since I'd also switched to the K&N air filter. Still, even if the improvement was all due to the air filter or some un-repeatable atmospheric conditions, I feel like I've got another tool in my back pocket. Even if it has no effect, it hurts nothing and makes me feel better.

I know there'll be some who feel I deserve to be flogged for suggesting this so let the roasting begin...

The real difference with lighting up the tires I
have noticed is the street surface..some surfaces are easier than others the burn these tires..
