Competition Mode=loss of power
Hi all a little background: 2003 zo6 w/ tune from ecs and a few bolt-ons. There is no issue with my car when driving with tc on, but if I put it into competition mode it looses a lot of power through any gear. Its like it puts it into limp mode or something. Very strange, any ideas?

Doesn't really make sense----Check for codes with a scanner--even if the check engine light is NOT on you may have some old codes stuck in there--which could pit it into "limp mode"---

Okay I am resurrecting this. I have no idea what the deal is with my car, why would this happen? There are no codes, but it simply wont produce power in comp mode or w/ traction control off.

call your tuner. my tuner told me that if I get "1" negative degree from bad gas in one of my tables (not sure which, i dont remember because he got all geeky) that it will drop me to "a lower power table". The car will stay in that lower table for 3 whole drive cycles and the car does not read that "1" negative degree any more. He said that if people get bad gas it would keep them in the lower power table for a month until they cycle through the old gas and get the 3 whole drive cycles in. Im new to the vette world but I was just told this by PBJ tuning in STL last week.
