Replying to: rat55chevy (May 31, 2006 3:50 pm) A few people have added K&N air filters to their Porsches and the minimal oil that comes on them has actually screwed up their Mass Air Flow sensors ($300 part x2) and thrown error codes. I'm guessing that chevys are not going to be as "sensitive" as porsches? And any suggestion on where to buy one of these? thanks!

Last question - I promise! Will it be better for the engine, i.e. less carbon deposits, and better efficiency/momre power form utitlizing supreme(93) vs regular(87) gas? I swore I could tell a difference in my old '99 tahoe with 50K miles but I could've just been imagining it. Any ideas?

Well I think I have found my first disappointment with my new Tahoe (other than the "Torque Management" system) and that is that while the Tahoe has a nice BIG compartment in the console, I REALLY miss having the change organizer that was built into my LeSabre console. Does anyone know of a company making an organizer that drops into the big compartment under the arm rest? With having to have change handy for tolls, etc - having it piled into the area in front of the cup holders or in one of the two cup holders doesn't work to well for me. (it sneaks under the cup holder insert and a second insert assembly for the front portion of that tray area is $74 at my dealer!  ) Sooooo - any thoughts, insites etc would be appreciate guy! Thanks!

Replying to: junglegeorge (Jun 01, 2006 11:45 am) The issue I have with the Torque Management that is built into the system is the limitations it puts on output based on vehicle speed, speed with which throttle was applied and what the computer actually allows to happen. For normal driving conditions it isn't too big of a deal but to be blunt, when I floor the throttle, I want/need everything the motor/drive train is capable of and I really don't want the computer restricting output through fuel/timing/etc. restriction. There is a lot of information on this feature available, but from what I understand it is basically put in place to keep people from tearing up their drive lines and creating warranty issues. But when a 300+ hp vehicle, with 4.10 gears and 17" wheels gives a "simulated" bog type feeling when you floor it to "accellerate out of danger" - I find that disappointing.  From what I have read, the various tuning services, Westers, Wait4me, etc. can over ride/tone down this feature to allow much more response out of the hole - so more than likely, that is the route that I will be going after I get the first oil change under the belt.  Other than that, I REALLY like the new Tahoe. Fit, finish and overall design are heads and tails above the '06 design in my book and the ride and handling a very nice with the LT3 package. I looked at stepping up to the LTZ, but I ordered mine in February, and the dealer told me that the LTZ would add an extra 3-4 weeks to the delivery. That tied with the fact that I do take mine off road camping, hunting etc, I figured I would be better off with the taller sidewalls of the 17's over the 20's.
