[s-cars] MTM Stage 1+ AND Pinging AND Hot Weather....

[Cody Payne]

Hey Guys,
    Well I added a full bottle of 104+ Octane Boost to my 3/4 tank of 91 on Friday...no pinging since...ouch at $7.00 a shot...but car feels very nice! Fast!  But RS2 conversion...still needed ;-)

Cheers

	Yes, MTM 1+ has a somewhat aggressive timing map. Our cars need better
	intercoolers and/or water injection BIG TIME.
