BTW Sorry for possibly being ignorant, but where does one get 100 octane gas?

Just watch out.. I put 110 octane Mark 2 racing fuel 50/50 with 94 and a month later had to replace my o2 sensors. Just a warning. Dont know if it has happened to anyone else.

Leaded gas will do this. Highest octane unleaded you will easily find is 100. I think Philips might make a 105 octane unleaded, but not certain.

I've been driving it around on Map 5 for a little while and decided to put it on MAP 6 to see the difference and boy is it ever. It is completely a different characteristic. I have an XI and the traction keeps coming on when I punch it and that tells you how much power is hitting the rear wheels. Very impressed to say the least. Love the torque pull. I had a SSTT before this and it was good low end and mid range but high end would taper off. The JB3 is strong across the power band. I have a SSTT for sale if anyone wants it.

I have a sprint booster on order should be here Monday and that will make the pedal super sensitive. I also order the RPI exhaust yesterday. Can't wait to feel the gains and here the exhaust roar.

Won't be anything like my other car, 96 Corvette LT4 Supercharged, but it seats 5 and is comfortable.

Sounds like fun.
