DO NOT USE 15W50~~~~~~~~
Switched back to 0w40 and all problems solved. Changed the MAF for good measure and the car is back to normal. Previously installed race cats when car was not running right and it was way out of tune, down on power, and too loud, even for me............ Now that it's generating proper hp, it's not too loud and runs like a banshee. No plans for a tt anytime soon, too much fun. Ordering seats, hood, etc to pull some more pounds................... Still eyeing yellow 355...................

what kind of race cats did you use.. 100 or 200 cell... what brand?
did you ever get your error code 1531 fixed... I recall you having a problem on the camshaft actuator bank 1.... dealer resolved?

Sorry for the confusion, this had nothing to do with the new cats. I was referring to the camshaft actuator code and then the sensor code, following with two o2 sensor codes. The oil change seemed to resolve the actuator issue (flat spot above 5k, cam not changing) and sensor issues. Replacing the MAF fixed the other issues...............

Let's see......... you change your plugs, replaced a fault ignition coil and put in a new MAF along with changing your oil and you somehow identified the oil as your problem????
An inactive cam actuator will not cause a flat spot at 5000 as the timing change is complete long before that. A bad coil might, as well as bad plugs and, yes, even a bad MAF. What won't cause a flat spot at 5000 rpm is your oil.
Next thing you'll be claiming is that your coolant temperature never gets above 200F.

The tick mark to the left of the 8 is 180F.
Dead plumb needle is about 195F.

For the temp gauge is it an electronic gauge using a sensor and wires or a direct reading style using a probe direct to the gauge in P cars?
