    But my car does 0-60mph in less then 7 secs it just dont have torque to spin tires as much as it should have. U guys think it could be plugs? Ill check tonight if their platnium ngk's. I know i had two cylinders that warent fireing because of a bad coil pack . Well i had spark but not enough . U guys think those two plugs got fouled.? Because it was before the misfire i had all the power. And i rode with that misfire for a while And thats why i changed my cat cause it ended up getting plogged. Let me know urr opinion..

    Your car ran poorly enough and long enough to kill the cat? I would definately be concerned about the plugs, pistons and a few other things. Since you know your 0-60 is 7 seconds, I need to ask ..is that 60kms or mph's? You mention the car has power but won't rip the tires.

    Torque management is partially learned by the pcm. My stock pcm knew the moment the key went into the ignition what my plans were for it and TM kept me from doing much with the tires. This might be your only issue.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
