Learn Down Question

Just a quick question. I have GMS1, and I know it raises the limit to 280 HP. Sometimes the car feels faster than other times like it forgets there is a limit and thing is a ******* beast and there is times wherethe car feels like its back at 280.

Question is does car ever like "forget" there is a learn down feature?

It's called change in climate, elevation, maybe a bad tank of gas.

There are many factors that will alter the performance of a car on a daily basis.

There is no "learn down" feature on the GMS1 tune.

You could. Yes.

Lot's of things will affect performance.

Sometimes it isnt as noticeable.

Power output varies greatly with temperature.

If its below 60F I can't go past half throtlte without breaking the tires loose in second.

I agree on gaining more power in colder weather on a boosted motor but your also spinning more cause the roads are cold and tires are harder. My low traction light comes on at 110mph now that its cold
