LS1 power lost when hot My LS1 feels more like a V6 when it's about 75+ degrees outside. It's an A4 transmission with 2.73 gears so could Torque Management have something to do with it? If so, would a trans cooler help? I want this cold weather back so I can get my torque back

are you running at the same temp as usual? coolant changed recently? could try water wetter, found at autozone etc to help cool your engine.
or time to get a vented hood?!

Most cars do feel like they run better and stronger when its colder because the air is densor and more fuel can be added to make more power. This is why track times are better when the d.a. is better.
