since I had plenty of daylight left I decided to check/clean my Green filters.
OMG!! They both looked crappy! The edge strips separated from the main filter housing so that filters were actually at the bottom of the air box.

Luckily, after ransacking the garage, I found my old K&Ns which weren't really old ( 8 mos when I took them out). Washed, dried them in the oven at 220 F for 30 mins and very lightly oiled them. went out for a spin and ....
The beast got beastier!!

4.48 actually recorded and not theoretical from a g-meter thing. Those are notoriously off.
Granted, I have 285/18/35 semi-slicks (street legal) tires on here.

striking this thread back to life- I enjoy my SBII 90% of the time, but launching is not one of them. I light them up just thinking about the accelerator pedal. Does anyone have a tip for smooth launches with SBII set on green? (I would prefer to not have to turn it off unless at the strip)

I was the OP on this. Just realized that I never got around to thanking everyone for their help. Responses were enough to help convince the dealer that something really wasn't right. They got it sorted out and the car's been great ever since. Thanks!!
