I think I might be on this list of folks too....
The car seems to run really well for me with the CIS-III ignition
system, but irregardless I think some of the detonation I was getting on
occasion was from the ignition system just doing the timing all wrong
under certain conditions.

I'll confirm the headgasket failure assumption coming up in a week or
two.

agreed, EFI rocks!  Nate will be posting some movie clips from an auto-x
this past weekend to give you an idea of what kind of power an EFI
powered 10vt is capable of ;-)
