WOT

3tspapat · May 30, 2019

So...like this...would be correct...."I press the accelerator pedal...i mean switch...all the way down about once or twice per tank". So unless you tune it out, WOT is NOT? So if WOT is NOT, then it's okay to NOT light to light?

I love NOTs when the pavement is wet in AWD mode.

Sorry but every statement posted is false.
Correct statement is you requested full throttle you did not get it. So you did NOT go wot.
There are dozens just to name few that stop this. Biggest offender is the torque management. But even as simple and the ECT and the command,slip,rpm,gear tables.
So that said it is fine for the truck because the computer simply says no.

I usually use my phone for posting and don’t always check what heading I’m posting in. In this heading your correct. These vehicles rarely if ever see their Horsepower. Although they can still be abused, and even spin the tires. You can even remove most TM and raise shift points etc, in the early models in the heading.

Even us old folks like to turn off the traction control/assist and expose some new rubber on the rear tires every now and then!

WOT almost daily. 6.2 + Borla Exhaust+WOT =Ear Candy

I read about how Ferrari techs routinely ran the engines to red line and held for some time. They stand by this practice of “the Italian tune-up”.

C'mon, bunch of chumps in here.

Who waits for it to hit any sort of temp nowadays. I fire it up and floor it straight to the stop sign at the end of the street.

Fewer than a half dozen times in 91,500 miles. Way fewer. Just enough to know what's there and what's there is plenty for a street truck driven on public roads.

WOT nearly every time I drive my truck. The feeling of when she downshifts and then takes off is priceless.

Every time I drive my truck.

Only WOT once since I’ve gotten it and that was for a WOT log for Diablew. 7” lift on heavy ass 35s, I just don’t see the need to stomp on it that often with all that added stress

First gear, no one see's WFO unless it's tuned.

If the butterfly is only 50% open you have 80% of the flow. 30%-35% open is roughly 50%-60% of peak flow. About were I motor down the Interstate. Point is it doesn't have to be fully open to flow nearly full capacity. 75% open is near 95% flow.

It's just the way ALL butterfly valves flow.

My vehicles have different levels of input. Some take full input to feel decent acceleration others feel full throttle at 1/3 input. My Camry feels the same at 1/2 as full throttle. It just holds the gear longer. It the reason I wonder if more than six gears is necessary.

We need to watch the voltage and not the posted throttle body %. As no matter what the max is like 80% but the voltage is always perfectly on. And that is how we can tell easy it is the computer that is reducing power rather then going thought all the tables and just seeing the dip in fuel, air, or what ever you see.
I have is somewhere but the stock tune is like never 1 gear 2 or 3 and then rpm over 4500 and in wot pedal % for more then 3 seconds. If you think about that that is about never or true wot for 1 second then shifts and next.
But if you have the wot and are in it for a good bit.....then we have fuel deactivation on deceleration. Making getting back into power interesting and the power adder guys tune nighmare.
