Ok, now I'm worried, just got my 2nd Limp today, didn't bounce off the limiter, once again WOT runs....outside temp 95-97 degrees F, Oil temp just under 250

Is it time to take it to the stealership??

Take the SSTT off and go to the dealer. Was having the same issues and took it in, they replaced the vaccum hose and it's driving great now.

OK, so I took the SSTT out, did a few more identical WOT runs and no limp!

Conclusion: SSTT causes the limps! :-(

Are you guys running these hard enough that the limps might be caused by high temps?

keep driving it stock, cant base a day of driving and call it quits. its pretty hard for the SSTT to cause a limp mode, just from the way it works and is desgined.
