This may be a no-brainer, but as the title states, is this the true feeling of heat soak and loss of performance?

I was stuck in San Jose to walnut creek traffic, known for being a real gridlock. After the traffic opened up, I accelerate and notice that take off was sluggish.

Your comments and thoughts are appreciated.

 

could be - higher intake air temps will cause the ecu to remove timing...

 

If it was hot air injestion, it will go away after 10 seconds or so once you start moving. What intake is on the car?

 

K&N drop in. Everything else is stock. Thx for responding, you guys are G's up in this joint. 5AT VQ35DE.
