I had the TracKey installed a few weeks ago and have been doing most if not all of my street driving with it ever since. I got to put it on the track last week for the first time. I did about a 20 minute session with all driving aids "off". I noticed when driving home on wet roads and accelerating a slight hesitation that didn't feel like traction control kicking in, but wasn't 100% sure it wasn't, so I was anxious to see what it felt like in a controlled environment on a familiar track.
I let my car warm for at least 15 minutes before heading out to the track. My first few laos were taken at a moderate pace to again allow proper warm up of brakes and tires. I am still on the OEM tires and brakes even after over 12,000 miles and several track sessions. During these laps I felt the "hesitation" again out of a few turns, but as everything warmed it seemed to fade away. I finally started pushing hard after about 4 laps and it just felt a little "off" coming out of higher speed turns that come out onto up hill sections of the track. I would guestimate my RPM's to have been about 4500 or so as I exited these turns.
I tend to shift my car at about 7,000 and usually take turns a gear higher than what might be considered "optimal" for best lap times. On the Summit Point main circuit, a 10 turn 2 mile track I use 3rd and 4th for most of it and hitting 5th briefly on the front straight. I know most take turn 3 and 10 in third, and I usually do the same for 3, but I always use 4th for 10 and have no issue hitting 140 plus on the main straight. So, with that little bit of info added, I felt the hesitation in 4th coming out of 3, and in 3rd coming out of 9, both turns exit uphill but 3 goes to the left and 9 to the right.
Anyone else notice hesitation using TK?
I also have no codes in my almost 13,000 miles and have done 3 oil changes using Castrol 5w-50 each time at 1400 miles, 6900 and 11,900 miles.
Additionally, I notice some hesitation and slight surge under steady cruising with silver key when car is cold in the morning, so I usually try to let it warm for a few minutes before driving.
