SS/TC's broke in HOLY @#$%

What a difference . I can't believe it's the same car . I'm just under 800 miles and decided to reset the computer while washing my car today. Anyway's i couldn't be happier .... . I actually got a good dose of torque steer lol, something i've never experienced with my SC . Now i finally understand how someone went 13.50's in one of these stock.

it's a myth that your car has a somewhat turned down tune that is unlocked after a certain amount of mileage basically. it's all bullshit tho.

why? all your doing is taking whatever charge is left in the electrical system and running it to a solid ground

I wouldn't try and mess up anyone's car . EVER . The reason i do it is to make sure there isn't a capacitor holding a charge in any of the control modules .

im asking my master tec right now so ill double check. im in no way sayin that this will do what he claims it did and not saying that it didnt do it to his just saying you can touch them lol.

Joshua says:
you can touch the neg battery cable and pos one and what happens
Jon says:
as long as no one starts the vehicle or shuts it off while you are touching both of them nothing

Jon says:
if they turn it off or crank it will touching it will knock you into next week

I should have put this in the original post instead of 4 or 5 down from the top.

my car had ran like **** since i bought it . Come to find out wastgate solenoid came unplugged it threw a p0243 . Fixed that and car ran better but still felt like it was pulling major timing from 3K to 5K rpm, major dead spot

Thats prolly why the reset made such a difference in my car .

My car was an absolute turd when I bought it. It felt no faster then my 02 maxima on a bad day. The more miles I put on it the faster it got. My first few trips to the track ended with 101mph....a few thousand miles later it was going 104+
