Quick question! Exactly what does WOT mean? I am guesssing flooring it right!

There are many variations of WOT, but the recommended procedure is well writen
in our FAQ section. Flooring is NOT what it is.

In NO WAY do we recommend some of the other variations of the WOT.

Find it as Gary noted or do it the way many others do it.

tx_boy has HT4100 in a 4k+lb car he likely has to floor it regularly during normal driving. WOT only appplies to Northstar or Aurora 32v engines. WOT procedure applied to 4.1 - 4.9L, sbc, or early big blocks may cause severe engine damage. Although WOT is well known on the net, it is inside / back door information. There is no tsb that acknowledges or authorizes it.

Read a memo from GM Powertrain Eng, circa 2005.
interpret as you may.

As you know internal memo.s are not meant outside publication. They due occasionally leak out. This one happens to be beneficial to Northstar owners.
