I am pretty sure in both cases that the engine timing was turned back and it is possible that WOT was limited to give the engine the proper time to break in before they allowed them to open it up.

The question is has anyone noticed this yet on their crossfire?

no such thing....a governor doesn't just turn itself off...unless new software is involved/introduced to the ecu....even if the governor was removed...no turbo effects would take place.

even after a car is broken in...this does not happen at one given time or set mileage.

he is clueless imo.
