I am replacing my '03 Impala LS and took an SS for a ride last night. Wow...that's some zip.
The one thing that concerns me is the "feel" of the 8/4 change. I was running on the interstate doing ~65, revs at ~2K and I felt a "bump" and saw the revs drop some. I was surprised and tried this several times while watching the display and determined this was occurring when the 8 to 4 cyl selection was going on. The sales guy was kinda surprised and I told him he had to have the service people check it out and let me know if this is standard for a Chevy with AFM before I would consider purchasing (even though they made me a decent offer).
I talked to him today and he said he was told that it gets smoother with time (and miles). Service guy was out today and was unable to check it over.
So my question(s) is(are): Is it typical to feel a "bump" when the AFM switches and, if this is to be expected, does it "smooth out" over time (or do you just get used to it)?
TIA

I have a 07 SS and when it goes to 4 cyl mode the only way I know is by watching it on the instrumment gauge. Tone of the mufflers change sounds cool. I don't think there was any change from the 07to 08. If there was let me know I think the price stayed the same also. I have every option was $32,600

you should not feel anything at all, either when it drops down or when it picks back up
