haven't made it yet. beedub a flying question LOL did you just fill the race fuel into the tank or you have to turned to another map that already made for the race fuel like HPF did? becoz I'm not sure if I'm going to gain extra power and I'm not really sure if the race fuel I bought is the proper one to use? which one do you think is the best one to use?

yeah i just throw it in the tank..... the dme adapts to the better quality fuel and you get more power, its a very different think on the hpf setups as they run more boost, timing ect ect... our boost is the same, our ecu just advances the timing and gives you alittle extra...... true 100 octane will make the world of difference but its not just the power, its the smoothness of the power and the way the engine behaves on better fuel, you should feel it pretty readily!! One of the main reasons i run a catch can is because the oil that our engines ingest as part of the breather sytem alters a/f ratio, lowers fuel octane increasing chance of detonation..... i feel so much better with it in place...

went you filled you tank with the race fuel did you mix it with the normal fuel which is 95 like us or you get empty then you fill it? I'm getting confused about that becoz I dont really have a full idea about using a racing fuel. all what I know about HPF or the 135,335 when they use the racing fuel they have to get the take empty then they will fill it.

nah because we are not map switch you can mix it in with your fuel...... run low and just dunk it in!!! i usually fill with 98 octane to half a tank and then fill with 105 to get to a nice mix and i can see the difference on the a/f gauge......

I used the torco 100 with 1/4 tank and fill it to the half of the tank or you could say between the half tank and the 3/4 tank mix with 95 Octane becoz this the higher rate of Octane we have anyway honestly I didnt feel any difference. maybe becoz the race fuel I took is not the right one.

The part of the difference in traction is going from a 20" tire with a small and very stiff sidewall, to an 18" one that allows it to flex under acceleration and grip much better

yah it's fast . the clutch still not fixed actually I need to take a free time to make a full check up of the car becoz I feel like the car somehow in some reasons get weak. I need to fit a boost gauge 'n oil gauge to see how do the car run exactly I may loose some boost with some reason. overall the car looks a monster in the street. never compare it to another car. if I did I post a video.

I strongly recommend a boost gauge with a peak recall feature to let you know how much boost you made. It will read too high by 2psi if you hit your rev limiter. But you do NOT want to be looking at a boost gauge during a run

I'm trying to make a review of the whole car but work always cut me in half cant even enjoy it. I'll be working on other things also. need to ask how did you guys install the boost and the other gauges? what did you do with wiring along the car from out to inside?
