Default COT in the trucks...

Any of you guys getting away with disabling COT while still running cats?

It seems as though the car guys are... but I wasn't sure about us with all the extra weight.

FWIW, I'm not really interested in an ORY or gutting my Dynatech cats.

I am wondering the same thing, actually, I'd like to know whats all involved in running no cats, and if that impacts daily driving at all?

COT will vary depending on your tuning capabilities. Run under the right conditions you can shut it off.

I have yet to have a problem with the COT off. No cat issues here.
