[s-cars] RE : RE : anyone besides me tempted to pump regular gas?

More seriously, I wonder what the 20VT would say running on 87 with no
alcohol on low boost as it seems this kit is made to be activated only on
high boost runs.

P.S.: Damn', where did I put this Goblin armor?

Hey, the way I figure it, a turbo car is a turbo car and if this stuff is
good enough to make a turbo V6 run 9 seconds down the 1320 on 93 octane,
it's good enough for a turbo 5 on highway duty on 87.

See, that's the problem, I've been spoiled by the Evo.

Why don't you guys suck it up and get a methanol injection kit in there? I'm

pretty sure you could run 87 with meth and probably have better performance
than straight 93.

Hey, if it's good enough for a Buick, it's good enough for an s car.
