Why does Pontiac do this though? Very simple - a rich mix is less prone to detonation, it's safer for the engine. My guess is that Porsche tunes their cars in a similar manner. An ECU reflash then would resolve this.

I had to laugh when I read your post Kirk. I'm on my second GTO (first one got totalled by a 16 year old who had his license all of 4 days, he pulled out in front of me 2 years back) and got dang near exactly 20 hp from A/F adjustments alone. Now I know why it popped so much on second gear deceleration. VERY stout cars, got over 100k w/o issues from my first one and just turned over that in my newer one.....
Please keep us posted Jaay, I'm curious of the results.
